I'm pretty sure I could offer the space again (I'd need to reserve the 
rooms far in advance).  Offering my time to schedule and gather speakers 
and people is what caused the last attempt to fizzle.  I'd be happy to 
setup the same signup page (and even enhance it if there's desires for it 
to do more) again.  Really, getting speakers committed and organized is 
the largest part of the work other than the actual event itself.

If there's sufficient interest, and a range of dates chosen, I'll be glad 
to go see what I can arrange with our conferencing guys.

Later,
Brad
