“It’s time to start kicking off the 2007 Kernel Summit planning
process. This year, the Kernel Summit will be held in Cambridge,
England, at the DeVere University Arms Hotel, September 5-6 (with a
welcome reception on the 4th). The decision to move the Kernel
Summit to England is a one-year experiment based on the very strong
request of last year’s kernel summit attendees to try a location
outside of Ottawa, and especially from the roughly 1/3rd of the
attendees that come from the UK or Europe. So the plan is for us to
book the Ottawa Congress Ceter space for July 2008 (which we will
need to do by mid-year 2007), and pending how well the Cambridge
venue works out in September 2007, we’ll figure out how often we
want to try moving the Kernel Summit to other locations in future
years beyond 2008…”
