<div>I have started early planning on the next OpenStack
Design Summit in early October 2011 this year and would
like to get some feedback on location options. The current
thinking is to just host a Design Summit event for 3 days
without the associated Conference portion that we are
doing next month in Santa Clara. It is my intention to
take this idea to the broader community in the coming
weeks but I need to gather some data from the developers
before I can put together a final proposal to the
community,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Location – My goal is to host the 3-day event in a
gateway city so attendees from Asia, Europe, and the US
can easily fly directly to this destination. This leads me
to look at cities like New York, Chicago, London, Paris,
Seoul, etc except these locations tend to be expensive for
hotels and facilities. Other global cities such as
Houston, Amsterdam, Frankfort, Seattle, Atlanta, Dallas
are cheaper locations for the event. Thus, I am looking to
see what locations are of interest to the developers; also
remember weather in October as a factor. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Host – Having an event at a hotel is more expensive
then finding a corporate facility, university setting, or
even co-locate with a conference. I am open to any ideas
you have about interesting facilities or events to
co-locate with as I want to ensure that we not only
accomplish our goal of setting the project's direction for
the future releases but also provide an excellent
environment with top notch facilities. </div>

</div>
<div>Feel free to provide your thoughts directly to myself
via email or respond to this email should you wish a
broader conversation. Thanks.</div>
