Well, we could do that too. But I think we'd want to maybe do that closer to Mountain View, where the actual summit is taking place, to cut down on the amount of travelling that the out-of-town folks have to do. E.g. you could come up this year, and we'll have maybe 3 or 4 of our mentors here for the summit. We could even do a mini-one day thing at the Google campus. I could probably get Google to give us a small conference room or tech talk room for half a day or something. I don't really know what our community is interested in doing. So I'm just tossing out ideas and seeing what sticks. If we don't do anything, that's fine too. -- Shawn.
