Irving,

If we had the meeting at the HP Canada HQ and stayed in hotels near
downtown, would this work ? Is this idea practical ? How long would it
take to travel from downtown to HP HQ ?

Tim.

Location or network access?

I'm running into a wall with getting external network access from the
901 King Street office, where I had been planning to host the June 14-17
F2F.

Here's the dilemma:

We can have our meetings within walking distance of downtown, with easy
access to good food and drink and all the comforts of the urban core,
but *no* Internet access from the meeting room
(http://ca.maps.yahoo.com/maps_result?ed=JsFmMOp_0To2snEXUEXxxwmVM.dS41M
PUkLQmIQ-&csz=toronto%2C+on&country=ca),

OR

We can have the meeting at HP Canada headquarters, 5150 Spectrum Way,
Mississauga, ON, which is about a mile from Toronto Airport (YYZ), in a
sterile hell of cubicle farms separated by wide parking lots, but *with*
Internet access
