Hi All, The 2nd annual Boost Conference has been scheduled for May 4-9 2008. Please see http://www.boostcon.com/registration for registration information. If you want to stay at the Aspen Meadows (highly recommended as it is within walking distance of the conference venue and was the site of great after-hours discussions in '07), it's especially important this year that you book your rooms early. Since, unlike last year, Aspen's airport will be open this May, demand for rooms has been heavy. In fact, the following week, which we tried to get, was snapped up by another group before we even had a chance to catch our breath, just weeks after BoostCon'07 ended. We'll be working hard on getting the program together for 2008 over the coming weeks. We hope to include many more Boost authors and contributors, and build in several more intensive library-specific sessions, to make 2008 better than ever. Please send any questions to the BoostCon planning committee at: organizers@boostcon.com. Those of you who didn't make it to BoostCon'07 may want to have a look at the photo gallery at http://boostcon.com/community/photos, peruse the 2007 program at http://boostcon.com/program, and check out the two trip reports mentioned here: http://boostcon.com/news/2007/Jul/16/yet-another-trip-report. See you in Aspen! -- The BoostCon Planning Committee
Are there still available rooms at Aspen Meadows? Are they reserved for the conference? I checked two weeks ago, and their site said they were all booked, so I've been looking for other accommodations, but I'd rather stay there again this year. Jared

I confirmed my reservation on Friday and was told there were plenty of rooms left, but they would most probably disappear quickly.

Many of those rooms were reserved for us, and yet unavailable to us because we hadn't been able to sign a contract with the Meadows. Now that's handled, so... book 'em, Danno. -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting http://boost-consulting.com

I sent them a registration request on Sunday, followed it up with a call on Tuesday, and got a confirmation yesterday (Wednesday). -- -- Marshall Marshall Clow Idio Software <mailto:marshall@idio.com> A.D. 1517: Martin Luther nails his 95 Theses to the church door and is promptly moderated down to (-1, Flamebait). -- Yu Suzuki
