Just out of interest, why not pick out 5 - 8 cities distributed across the continent and have a vote from the list members to see just what everyone's preference might be?

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.

For me flights from the East Coast to San Jose or San Francisco are a small fraction of the cost to attend the conference. In turn there are many folks coming in from out of country and flying into a major airport on the East or West coast reduces costs for them and is more convenient. I believe Houston was looked at as a possibility. Yet there were limitations that caused it to be dropped from consideration.

Not sure what the reason for this is but it makes it hard for many in the middle of the country to attend this most valuable event. Sorry for the rant but just had to ask the question. Why is this?
