Have the conference during spring break or summer if you must, but keep it at MIT, and keep it cheap. MIT does HAVE a spring break, doesn't it? :-) It's possible to walk around MIT hardly going outside. Detailed indoor directions (possibly verbal rather than a map) from a T (subway) stop and one or more hotels to the lecture/BOF/tutorial locations would help people keep warm. I live within walking distance of Cambridge, and it's usually cold, but definitely not THAT cold. Mary-Anne Wolf, Honeywell Bull, Billerica MA MWolf -at BCO-Multics.ARPA These opinions are my own. Who else would want them? :-)
