September 16-20, 2002 is the time, and Vancouver British Columbia Canada [http://www.vancouvertourist.com/] is the city (home of [ActiveState]) for the Nineth Annual Tcl/Tk Conference. Check http://www.tcl.tk/community/tcl2002/ for all the details. ---- [RS]: As one of the Tclers that cannot attend, I would be very happy if the lucky ones in Vancouver could let us know how it goes (maybe right here on this page?) [LV] I found an open terminal, and of course the second thing I did (after sending mail to the family) was stop in to update the page! I arrived yesterday pm. The tutorials are said to have gone well - I have talked to Ken Jones and Clif Flynt who were tired but pleased with the way their presentations went. Spent the afternoon talking with [stevel], [Steve Ball], [dkf], [aku], Clif, [Mark Roseman], [tclguy], [Mac Cody], [kennykb], and a number of others whom I have met over the past 3-4 conferences. It certainly is good to see them all again. Donal, Kevin, David Enry and myself grabbed a quick bite at a wonderful greek restraunt, then walked over to Activestate for the reception. Food, libations (for those who ate less than I at dinner), and loud music was the rule of the evening. I got to say hi to a number more Tcler's - like Matt Herdon of ActiveState - the tools manager - and [Richard Hipp], as well as others. After being on the go for about 20 hrs, I went back to the room, decellerated with a bit of tele time, and fell asleep. This morning, I'm up, chatting with the early birds (Mark informs me that Vancouver is a premeir place for Starbucks and other coffee shops...) and waiting for breakfast. We'll let you all know how things are going through the week.
