During a tour of the Asilomar Conference grounds, I discovered that th= e pricing I had been given previously quoted wasn=E2=80=99t quite correct= and that the actual room costs are likely prohibitive (approx. =24310 pe= r night for room and board for single rooms and =24420 per night for doub= le rooms). 2. Subsequent to visiting Asilomar, I asked Karla to reserve meeting room= s at Sandia National Laboratories in Livermore, California, so we know we= have one workable option. =C2=A0I am very familiar with the building we = would use at Sandia. In fact, I participated in the design of the buildin= g and occupied an office there. It=E2=80=99s a great space and perfect fo= r us in several ways. =C2=A0The downsides of meeting at Sandia, however, = are that we would have no access to a lunch venue on-site, there are no g= uest rooms on-site for sleeping, and everyone would need to rent cars or = carpool. 3. After several contacts with faculty and staff at UC Berkeley and Lawre= nce Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL), I am optimistic about the possib= ility of hosting the meeting on campus in Berkeley. =C2=A0The upsides are= that both UC Berkeley and LBNL have on-site guest rooms, both offer acce= ss to on-site lunch venues, and/or off-site cafes within walking distance= , and both are accessible by public transportation from either the San =46= rancisco or Oakland airports. As a bonus, my expected host is a departmen= t head at LBNL=E2=80=99s NERSC supercomputer center so we can likely tour= their world-leading computing facility. Also, I live in Berkeley, which = will make any additional research and planning especially easy. I will also be glad to work on plans for the geezers meeting after determ= ining the venue for the WG5 meeting. Presumably it=E2=80=99s best to loca= te the geezer=E2=80=99s meeting at or near the WG5 meeting venue so I wou= ld like to finalize the WG5 meeting location first. My goal is to make the final site choice before the Garching meeting, whi= ch unfortunately I will not attend as much as I tried to make it happen. = =C2=A0If there=E2=80=99s a good option for presenting remotely via teleco= nference or videoconference, I will be glad to present the final plan dur= ing the Garching meeting. =C2=A0During the Garching meeting, my family an= d I will be in Spain to attend a close friend=E2=80=99s wedding anniversa= ry celebration so at least I=E2=80=99ll be on the same time zone as Garch= ing.=C2=A0 I hope this is helpful and I wish everyone a productive meeting in Garchi= ng.
