We’ve promised the east coast crowd, an honest to god east coast 360|Flex since… well since our first event back in ’07
We’re keeping that promise, finally, but it sure ain’t easy! The east coast is expensive, for an event like 360|Flex. We don’t charge a lot to get in, and most hotels costs more than the price of a ticket to 360|Flex. That’s hard to think about, staying at the hotel for the event is more than the event. At least bigger events, it’s even, which makes it less noticable :)
THAT SAID. We’re really close to locking in a hotel that should do nicely for 360|Flex, and still keep to our not breaking the bank mentality. I sure can’t wait to see how an east coast 360|Flex is responded to, it will certainly dictate whether there’s any more… no pressure :)
Stay tuned, the next day or two will see the announcement of time, location, and call for papers. Don’t miss out!
In the meantime, make sure to check out the session videos from 360|Flex San Jose and RIAdvanture. Some truly great stuff there!
Someday you should have a 360Flex tent event. Just find a big field that we can all camp in. Throw up a few big tents for the sessions. Bonfires at night. That would rock!
LOL That would be hilarious!! Like Burning Man, but Burning Flash… that sounds like an STD though.
I've got a 15'x24' canvas cabin with a wood-burning stove! I'm in!!
You guys laugh….but I did that with a small Ruby group. They did a Ruby Camp at a state park. They rented a pavilion. I provided sound.
Everyone camped out and they cooked some AWESOME barbecue.
That's awesome! Like FOO Camp!
Way to go!
hmm…somewhere I have a picture of a linux box in a tent w/ a wireless antenna duct taped to a tree for some sort of event like this.
let's NOT have it in July or August tho!
LOL. And lots and lots of extension cords :)
Any updates on 360flex in DC? Is it going to happen?
um, yeah it's happening. registration is open. should be posting the speakers today or tomorrow at the latest
