No.. That's why the location wasn't indicated.. yet.. We might even move UPENE around a little. :)

OBC, sounds good, can't wait. This year's was a blast. As mentioned before, I am willing to assist in full capacity on the ID cards and I am planning on being an extra pair of hands during setup, etc.

OBC,

Would the format be the same for UPEW? I loved how it was this year. Of course, Chip was looking a bit worn out by 3am Sunday morning.... lol Most of my vendors kick me out way before then. :-)

The 24-hour expo was a fun experiment. I'm not sure we'll duplicate it again, but I suspect I'll ask Parallax to
keep the doors open late, say 11:00pm or so. We had good things going on all the way to 1:00am last year.

The brave few who tried to run a full 24 hours were found in interesting sleeping positions around 5am. :)
(Yes, we have pics!)

Personally, as a broke college kid I like the open 24 hours option. It saves on a hotel room for a night, and the transportation required to get there and back.

You can always tent it in the back of your car in the parking lot. That would be my plan assuming my wife does not come.

Is it at all possible to move the UPEW to a cooler time of year?
Is it as hot at end of May as end of June?

No car. I took the train last time, spent the night enjoying downtown Sacramento... (of course, it was a couple days before since I had to plan a day to get from Sac to Rocklin, but you get my point).

The heat at the end of June was rather oppressive to a Northwest weather wimp like me. It wasn't such an issue during the conference, since most of the time was spent indoors, but the drive back home without air-conditoning was downright miserable.

An all-nighter is fine by us again, even if it is just for a few people to find a place to sleep. Seems that late-night projects are a trademark of UPEW crews, and they're welcome to stay in our office. Last time the kids from Texas and SRLM found enough office chairs to make a few beds. Jazzed and another guy from Central Valley lent their computers to the hacker kids who promptly whipped out their USB thumb drives full of Propeller programs. They were still working when I came back in the morning, well-rested and ready for day two. My 10-year old was so excited and worn out from the event that he cried on the soldering iron station when it was time to go home on Sunday . . . would be an amazing place to release Prop 2, wouldn't it?

It would be an incredible place to release Prop 2...

And I may have a few other interesting products by then too :)
