The National ACM Conference (http://www.acm.uiuc.edu/conference/index.html) is coming up soon.
I for one am going :-).
I would like to know who would like to join me.
If we get enough interest, we can organize car pools and get a group discount on hotel costs.
The conference is in Champaign, IL at the University of Illinois
October 18 - 20
I've estimated the cost of the trip to be about
$75/person
including gas, hotel and registration, but that varies GREATLY depending on whether or not we get shared rooms and a group discount, expect to spend more if you want your own room or if we don't get enough people for a discount.
Let me know before
OCTOBER 10th
if you would like to go.
president@caos.siue.edu
Make sure to tell me if you want a single/double/triple room and if you would be willing to drive.
I'm SOO excited, hope some of you can join me.
I'm going as well.
I would really like to go, but I have to evaluate where my school work is at before I make a commitment. I looked at the website for the event and there are going to be some really neat speakers there. If I cant make it, I am going to have to have someome take a tape recordering with them :P

I plan on going as well. I wouldn't have any problem giving 1-2 others a ride.
When does everyone plan on leaving? My main motivation is the job fair, the speakers are just a nice extra bonus. ;-)
Hehe, yeah, the job fair will be nice, eh? I'm hoping for internship opportunities from that.
Hardcore development in a Unix environment, mmmmmmm.
And I'm spent.
The departure time would depened on those attending. We will have a meeting beforehand to make that decision.
Jim, I'll put you down as a vehicle (+1-2) thanks :-) .
