|
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.

Tracks
|
|
======
|
|
|
|
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 *and* across these tracks, with an emphasis on service
|
|
to our user base.
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
Sessions
|
|
========
|
|
|
|
In the spirit of Boost, many sessions will be participatory and/or
|
|
collaborative in nature. The program committee has issued a `call
|
|
for sessions`_. Please raise any questions about—or ideas for—the
|
|
conference on the `Boost mailing lists`__.

Venue
|
|
=====
|
|
|
|
The main venue for this conference will be the `Aspen Center for
|
|
Physics`__ 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.

Hotel
|
|
=====
|
|
|
|
The main conference hotel will be the `Aspen Meadows Resort`__.
|
|
Located within walking distance of the Physics Center, the Meadows
|
|
provides 90 rooms, a restaurant, and overflow conference facilities
|
|
should the event expand.

Conference Size
|
|
===============
|
|
|
|
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 *may* 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.
|
|
|
|
Sessions
|
|
========
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
Registration
|
|
============
|
|
|
|
Official Registration is not yet open, but an `informal attendee
|
|
list`__ 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.
