From a note I just wrote to a mailing list:
I could do with some co-location. These days, much of the interesting stuff is happening in small specialised events that are scattered around the calendar and around the world. I, my family, and my body clock (and the troposphere) can’t hack it any more.
I’ve been looking ahead at the calendar and there are just too many small interesting events that I’d really like to get to: Google LTAC, Simple Design and Testing, several European XpDays and AgileOpen, CITCON, Consultant Camps, various “Gatherings”—plus the more established events. And, if I go to all these events, I spend all my time rattling around similar communities and don’t get to see anything radically new (to me). It might be that the full-time road warriors can just take it in their stride, but I’m out of shape.
If someone (else) could arrange to bunch just a couple of these events together, somewhere near a hub, not during school holidays, I’d be so grateful.
