There was talk of an eXistentialists mini-conference/get together in Minnesota sometime this summer. Not sure what's happening with that....I had offered to present/demo a case study on our healthcare app which is virtually 100% eXist based. Loren....any ideas/progress on a MN get together this summer? -- Andrzej Taramina Chaeron Corporation: Enterprise System Solutions http://www.chaeron.com |

> There was talk of an eXistentialists mini-conference/get together in Minnesota sometime this summer. I think Loren is mainly waiting for an answer from me. If I fly to Minnesota, I would like to combine it with a private visit and/or a short holiday with my wife. Otherwise, the flight would be too expensive. I will probably have a chance to clarify this on the weekend. Wolfgang |

If he is not able to attend, then we will go ahead and make plans for sometime early this summer. It would also help to know how many people would be planning on attending. I know that not having a fixed date makes it difficult to commit, but please let me know directly (through 'reply' and not 'reply all') if you could be attending if schedules work out. It would also help to know what dates people would prefer, what topics they would like covered, and if they have any presentations for the community. Knowing how many people are planning on attending will help us to plan the size and scope of the gathering. I will consolidate all of the feedback and give the community a summary of the responses.

The university of Richmond would probably send 2 people maybe 3. Depended on dates. We don't have preferred dates. It is just people schedule vacations as well.

How about combining this with the Balisage dates. I really feel that eXist should have representation at Balisage this year, and regardless it looks like a pretty cool conference. Perhaps we could bundle the two up together?

Adam: > How about combining this with the Balisage dates. I really feel that > eXist should have representation at Balisage this year, and regardless > it looks like a pretty cool conference. I've submitted a presentation proposal ("Open Source XML Databases in Healthcare") to the O'Reilly OSCON conference (http://www.oscon.com/oscon2010), and intend to submit a similar proposal (though maybe slanted more towards the use of XML markup in healthcare, HL7 and all that) for Balisage. So, fingers crossed, we will have some representation specific to eXist at both conferences, albeit specific to my interests in healthcare. > Perhaps we could bundle the > two up together? The problem with that is that Montreal and Minneapolis are pretty far apart. Almost 1300 miles according to Mapquest. Bundling these together would only really work if the venue for the North American eXist mini-conf was changed to Montreal. Otherwise it's a hell of a long drive or forces people to catch yet another plane flight. -- Andrzej Taramina Chaeron Corporation: Enterprise System Solutions http://www.chaeron.com |

Given how nasty the US TSA and Homeland security are these days, it's probably easier and less hassle to get into Canada than the USA anyway. Though I must admit, I am looking forward to doing a long ride on one of the Harleys from the greater Toronto area (where I am located) to Minnesota for the mini-conf! ;-) -- Andrzej Taramina Chaeron Corporation: Enterprise System Solutions http://www.chaeron.com |

Not sure about that statement :-) It took us quite some time to get off the plain through the customs in Montreal. SFO was clearly faster.....

I already have some facilities tentatively arranged for in Minnesota. If we were to host this meeting in any other city than our own, then it would be too expensive for us to put it on.

Sure, it may be that if we contact the Balisage people they might be able to help or recommend something. The reason I suggested it, is because it is an incredibly expensive proposition for us non-Americas folks to come over to the Americas unless we are being paid or funded. I though that if perhaps we combined it with the dates around Balisage it perhaps makes it a more acceptable cost for us and hence pushes up attendance and knowledge. Thanks Adam.
