*STRAW POLL* - LISA and location...

[Pat Wilson <rigel.dartmouth.edu">paw]

The SAGE Board will be discussing issues related to the LISA conference (including
location) in the next several months, and we'd appreciate your input on the
following questions:

1) Do you attend LISA or plan to in the next two years?  __ yes  __no

2) What factor is/would be *the most important* in your decision to attend LISA?
	__ technical program
	__ tutorial offerings
	__ invited talks/other track at meeting
	__ meet other sysadmins
	__ location of conference
	__ cost of hotel
	__ other (please specify)

3) How does location of the conference affect your decision?
	__ more likely to go to West Coast LISA
	__ more likely to go to East Coast LISA
	__ more likely to go to mid-West LISA (e.g. Chicago)
	__ really don't care at all

4) Is cost of the rooms at conference hotels an issue for you?
	__ yes, but I'll find a way
	__ yes, it prevents me from attending
	__ no (but cheaper is better)
	__ I never notice

5) Is any particular time between late September and early November
  (historically, the range of LISA dates) consistently bad for you?


Thanks!  We'll have other questions as time goes on...  Please do respond
to the survey - every opinion point counts!  Send responses to
pawusenix.org (and I apologive in advance for any vacation message you
might see - I'm off to Usenix tomorrow).
