I never really understood this argument. We're not going on vacation and
Microsoft has heating in their facility afaik.

I disagree to this. It's just a financial and balance question. It is a
stretch to go to CA for some of us who need to stay in tight budgets.
We should also take into account that the NSF funding will probably run
out this year.

I think it is unreasonable to expect that a majority of the Forum will
speak up via email (or even read this thread :-). It would be reasonable
to do statistical sampling. I heard 4 people against Atlanta and 0 in
favor so far. Speak up!

All the Best,
