Then they can drive or take the Amtrak? :) My opinion is that San Jose makes good sense because since BMC is the premier sponsor of the WWRUG, we are closer to their engineering team and they can have a larger presence at the conference. On the east coast, the DC area is ideal because of the huge government presence and the Remedy folks there usually have a tough time securing funding for a cross country trip to a conference. I would hope that as some of the midwest states and cities in Texas become larger tech hubs, we may see a RUG there in the future.
