Group members, Following up on a discussion that took place in Mandelieu, France, I hereby offer for the group's consideration a proposal to meet at my premises in a) the week preceding, or b) the week following the eXtreme Markup Languages conference in August of 2006, so as to take advantage of the fact that a number of us would be attending the conference anyway, and my residence is two relatively short hops away. To be more specific, I am suggesting that we meet at my facility for a few days prior to the conference or a few days after the conference. Since the conference dates are Aug 7-11, I am suggesting that we meet Aug 2-4 or Aug 14-17. Either set of dates will work for me. My facility is located approximately two hours NNW of Toronto's Pearson Airport. While it is a bit of a drive, I can make the route quite simple, especially if we can coordinate our Toronto departure so that I can lead a small convoy of vehicles. The idea is that you would fly into Toronto Pearson on your way to or from Montreal, and then drive on to my facility. The facility has internet connectivity -- although not at the speeds with which some of you are accustomed. We have four phone lines and fax. The facility can easily accommodate an even dozen at any one of three potential meeting tables, and more comfortably accommodate two dozen in the lounge, the bar or around one of the two pools. Rooms are available at a nearby (10km) resort for approximately $100/night or at a small B&B (3.2km) for approximately $50/night. That is $CDN. I will probably be able to put one or more of you up in the Davenport House for the duration. Those who enjoy camping would be welcome to pitch a tent on one of the lawns-- it has been done before. Assuming at least three days of meetings, we might be together for up to five nights. It has been suggested that we could have a BBQ on two or three of those evenings. Assuming that we can get this solidified in time, I would also arrange two evenings of entertainment. The first would be Jam Night at a local road house, and the second would be seats at the local theater for a bit of summer stock. Please discuss this within the group in preparation for next week's tele-conference. Please be prepared to say whether your attendance at this meeting is possible or not, and whether the dates of Aug 2-4 or Aug 14-17 affects that possibility. If we should proceed with this, I will need to be aware of any environmental or dietary restrictions. Regards, Murray P.S.
