Ok, so i'm sure most everyone is interested in a "virtual" Wearable Conf. lets kick out some potential dates. I have a fair amount computing at my disposal so i would agree to being a Cincinnati hub for the event. I've a basic residential cable (road runner) connection ie: ~384Kbps upstream. If this isnt sufficient, i would be willing to augment the feed potential if needs require it. Since to my knowledge nobody has suggested a specific date, I think this sould be be preliminary focus. Dates that probably should be out of the question are, defcon 01 (July 9-15), Siggraph 01 ( Aug 12-17) , and ISWC (Oct 8-9). These are dates that I expect are out of the question for me, I'm sure there are some other potential wear-hard related events that could create conflicts. Since this theoretical event requires NO travel, i'd like to further suggest that it take place multiple times per year, Quarterly possibly?
