I agree even though I wasn't at the last Atlanta meeting it is inconvenient for me to fly there.

be good to move this meeting in Chicago (if the Microsoft facility is

I agree with Torsten - Atlanta is much more inconvenient than Chicago,
even from the Westcoast. Based on my experience last time, it is more
expensive to fly there and red eye/evening combinations (which work
nicely between SFO and ORD) are much harder to accomplish (in
particular when one tries to stay under $750 NSF funding).
West Coast trips are useful for us too. Plus who really likes being in Chicago from November-March?
March 28 - 30 - CA
May 23 - 25 - Chicago
July 18 - 20 - CA
Sept - In conjunction with Euro MPI
Nov 9 - 11 - In conjunction with SC (may want to move this to late Oct)
I would propose more meetings in Chicago because it seems that more
folks are closer to Chicago (Argonne, IU, UIUC) than CA (Microsoft?,
Cisco?).
You can add us to this list for west coast as well :)
I would propose to go back to the original scheme of alternating between
Chicago and CA. This seemed to have worked well in the past.

Thanks & Best,
