Hey Mo,
Yes, we would most definitely be interested in the research. I'll be
helping with logistics, and I know that everyone would love to see
suggestions for venues. The more research, the better if you have a
strong preference.
Emphasis is on ease of deploying. Typically August has seemed like a
good time because it doesn't conflict with any major events and also
since folks usually are available.
I do not handle budget. That would be a Bex and Council question.
I'm sure there will be more conversation sooner than later. I think Bex
takes the reigns officially at the beginning of October, and I suspect
we'll have a lot more movement/details about how to proceed with Flock
once he's in place.
Let me know if you have questions. I can certainly provide answers from
a logistical perspective.
Thanks.
Just as an added note for consideration too (and I recognize this is
just hypothetical discussion and that it's different region-to-region),
but from the perspective of a US student, early August is a great time
as well. It's usually still in the summer so classes aren't in session,
and co-ops / internships are usually close to wrapping up (if not
finished already). If it were much later, I think it would be hard for
non-local students interested in attending to justify missing close to a
week of classes.
