+<p>Dateline: Sept 14, 2006. This inaugural Boost conference promises
|
|
|
+to be the main face-to-face venue for all things Boost, from using
|
|
|
+libraries to writing them, from evangelizing Boost to deployment
|
|
|
+within your organization, from infrastructure and process to vision
|
|
|
+and mission, and from TR1 to TR2. Given the range and interests of
|
|
|
+the participants, the event is going to be intense and in-depth.</p>

|
|
|
+<p>Recognizing the breadth of the community, we are offering two
|
|
|
+primary tracks: the first three days will be focused mostly on the
|
|
|
+practical interests of Boost and TR1 end-users, and the last three
|
|
|
+will be directed more towards hard-core Boost developers, with one
|
|
|
+overlap day at midweek. Thus, the conference fosters interaction
|
|
|
+both within <em>and</em> across these tracks, with an emphasis on service
|
|
|
+to our user base.</p>
|
|
|
+<p>Sessions will run in the morning and evening, leaving a midday
|
|
|
+break of several hours so that attendees can get out and enjoy the
|
|
|
+town and its surroundings, or just to have time to work together in
|
|
|
+small, informal groups.</p>

|
|
|
+<p>In the spirit of Boost, many sessions will be participatory and/or
|
|
|
+collaborative in nature. The program committee is drafting a call
|
|
|
+for sessions that you can expect to see in the next few weeks. In
|
|
|
+the meantime, please raise any questions about—or ideas for—the
|
|
|
+conference on the <a class="reference" href="http://www.boost.org/more/mailing_lists.htm">Boost mailing lists</a>.</p>

|

|
+<p>The main venue for this conference will be the <a class="reference" href="http://www.aspenphys.org">Aspen Center for
|
|
|
+Physics</a> in Aspen, Colorado. The town of Aspen is known for its
|
|
|
+world-class cuisine and its envigorating, natural setting. As
|
|
|
+generations of scientists can attest, the Center's beautiful
|
|
|
+location and its low-key atmosphere create a unique and lively
|
|
|
+environment for thought, education, and collaboration.</p>

|
|

|
|
|

|
|
|
+<p>Much more than having a great number of attendees, it's important
|
|
|
+that this first BoostCon be a success, so we're starting small.
|
|
|
+Registration will initially be limited to just 100 places, except
|
|
|
+that we'll accomodate 200 participants on Wednesday, when the two
|
|
|
+main tracks overlap. Contingency plans are in place that <em>may</em> allow
|
|
|
+us to expand registration should demand prove overwhelming, but
|
|
|
+when registration opens we recommend securing your place early, in
|
|
|
+case that isn't possible.</p>
