Admonition:: What is BoostCon? - - 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. - -.. contents:: Index - -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. - -In the spirit of Boost, many sessions will be participatory and/or -collaborative in nature. 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. - -Propose a Session -================= - -See the BoostCon `Call for Sessions`_ for details about how to submit a sesion proposal. - -.. _call for Sessions: http://www.boost.org/more/BoostCon07_session_call.html - -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. - -__ http://www.aspenphys.org - -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. - -__ http://aspenmeadowsresort.dolce.com/ - -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. - -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. - -__ interest_ - -..
