Well, keep in mind that LSF is starting Sunday already, so it means for people who are from out of town, the weekend[1] is already shot; there were issues with hotel space, from what I was told when I asked Angela, which is why it's Sunday and Monday as opposed to Monday and Tuesday. [1] Which for me means I miss participating in my church's Palm Sunday celebration, and LSF and the Collab Summit overlaps with Holy Week. On the other hand I believe it was last year that Collab Summit overlaps with Passover, so I guess it's equal-opportunity stomping on religious holdays. :-/ So it's really only two extra hotel nights; if we met on Saturday instead of Friday, it gets hard for people who are local to the bay area, as well as people who might be conferencing continuously from the Ext4 Workshop, through LSF, through to the Collab Summit. And meeting during the LSF gets hard from a scheduling point of view, especially since XFS is already meeting (all day?) during Collab Summit already. Also, there are some relatively inexpensive hotels (under $100/day) in the South Bay, and if necessary I would be happy to organize some car pools so that people can get back and forth from their hotels to the Google Campus, and from Mountain View up to San Francisco on Saturday to save on ground transportation results.
