I'd be happy to gather a few hotel recommendations - the first I can point
at is University Place Hotel [0], which was our "backup" venue - it's right
across the street from Portland State University, and often hosts
conferences. I might be able to talk to the PSU comp sci department and get
them to "host" these sprints, which could help get a discounted rate through
the hotel as well.
Let me know when you need details ironed out, and I'm happy to get the
quotes in place. Naturally, the further out this is planned, the more likely
you're going to be accommodated as you wish. The closer we get to the
conference dates, the harder (read: perhaps impossible) it's going to be to
get the rooms and meeting places arranged.
Thanks,
Patty
