should we register a domain for the conference? groovycon.com is
open, or maybe it should be groovycon.org. then we could build a sweet
grails site for our groovy conference! :) users could register and
stuff... just a thought.

I think we need to know if we are going to build off the GR8 brand,
which I think is wise. It already has goodwill. We can demonstrate to
potential sponsors actual numbers. etc. Unfortunately, I could not get
Soeren to commit or what it might cost.

Bill, do you expect to hear more on this soon? I think that using the
GR8 brand would be a big help to us.

We'll have to keep an eye on what happens with NFJS as well.  They might be going it alone and not combining with GR8 brand this fall...

Breaking news from the NFJS team! There will be a Groovy event later this year. Watch for an announcement to come out of JavaOne!

Almost certainly true: I don't have any inside information on this point, but I'd be really, really
surprised to see an NFJS + GR8Conf team-up.

The rumors I *have* heard suggest that the Groovy conference will probably be
east-coast/mid-Atlantic, though, and probably in the first week of November. But those are just
rumors, so don't bank on them: the official announcement will come out at JavaOne.

In that case, I think it is important to have a date chosen by the
time JavaOne is held.
