NFJS shows in Cincinnati and San Diego start today!

[DaveKlein]

If anyone here (eg. Jared and Ken) is going to be at either of these
events, please drop us a line to let us know how they go. Also, feel
free to let the attendees there know about this list.

Thanks and have a great time!

The Cincinnati show went well... Neil Ford was late due to air travel
issues, so we have 5 tracks worth of people in 4 rooms. That was close
quarters. :) Jay was running the San DIego show, so we had Scott Davis
running ours.

Good crowds... good questions. On the agile track, it seemed to be
more of a hybrid city. I find most regions have a distinct flavor,
either XP, Scrum, or hybrid... this was a hybrid city

Speakers there included Neil Ford, Scott Davis, Mark Fisher, etc... a
few people ducked on Saturday to go to eRubyCon. Ted's co-author for
his F# book was there as well.

Food was decent but not great. But the hotel restaurant had great food
(that's the exception, not the rule).

What else can I tell ya?

Thanks for the report Jared!  I'm glad it went well. 

It seems that the air travel is becoming an issue for NFJS events.  As I recall, there was a speaker who missed a session in Green Bay due to similar problems.  I think I have the solution though.  At first I thought that Jay should start his own airline with routes that just happen to correspond to the NFJS schedule.  But then I realized that with you speakers scattered all over the place that wouldn't work.  Then I realized that during the events you are all in the same place, so why not just send you from there?!  Just like Jay does with the equipment... Just FedEx all the speakers from one show to the next.  The only question remaining is: does FedEx have a first class cabin?
