The following message is a courtesy copy of an article that has been posted to gmane.comp.lib.boost.user,gmane.comp.lib.boost.devel,gmane.comp.lib.boost.interest as well. A couple of quick items: 1. The conference format has changed. For many practical reasons, the "two 3-day tracks with one day of overlap on Wednesday" format proved unworkable. Among those: * Many (most) sessions don't fall neatly into the library-user/library-developer track distinction. We see this as a good thing, as it means we have more material that's of broad interest. * It made the hotel reservation pattern very difficult; we were afraid many people would be shut out of rooms at the conference hotel and also that the hotel would not be able sell the entire reserved room block, which could cost the (non-profit) conference a lot of money, as we had to agree to be liable for unsold room nights. Instead, we're running two tracks concurrently all week. We thought attendees should be prepared for that change. 2. We expect the new boostcon website will go live and registration for the conference will open in the next couple of days. We're just clearing away a few final details. In the meantime, the existing http://www.boostcon.com has the old information. Regards, and see you at BoostCon, -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting www.boost-consulting.com
