- <p>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>

- <h1><a class="toc-backref" href="#id8" id="tracks" name="tracks">Tracks</a></h1>
- <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, from novice to expert,
- and the last three will be directed more towards hard-core Boost
- library and tools 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>
- </div>
- <div class="section">
- <h1><a class="toc-backref" href="#id9" id="sessions" name="sessions">Sessions</a></h1>
- <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>
- </div>
- <div class="section">
- <h1><a class="toc-backref" href="#id10" id="venue" name="venue">Venue</a></h1>
- <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>
- </div>
- <div class="section">
- <h1><a class="toc-backref" href="#id11" id="hotel" name="hotel">Hotel</a></h1>
- <p>The main conference hotel will be the <a class="reference" href="http://aspenmeadowsresort.dolce.com/">Aspen Meadows Resort</a>.
- Located within walking distance of the Physics Center, the Meadows
- provides 90 rooms, a restaurant, and overflow conference facilities
- should the event expand.</p>

- <div class="section">
- <h1><a class="toc-backref" href="#id12" id="conference-size" name="conference-size">Conference Size</a></h1>
- <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>
- </div>
- <div class="section">
- <h1><a class="toc-backref" href="#id13" id="id5" name="id5">Sessions</a></h1>
- <p>The program committee is currently forming and drafting a call for
- sessions; watch this space in upcoming weeks for an outline of
- workshop, session, and talk ideas, and a request for submissions.</p>

- <p>Official Registration is not yet open, but an <a class="reference" href="http://www.crystalclearsoftware.com/cgi-bin/boost_wiki/wiki.pl?BoostCon">informal attendee
- list</a> for those likely to attend has been set up on the Boost
- Wiki. The conference organizers would very much appreciate it if
- you could add an entry to this list if you think you'll be there,
- to help us with planning.</p>
