This year we had two very strong proposals from Chicago, Il and Portland, Or. With good locations and some experienced individuals behind each proposal it was a very tough decision. In the end I decided to select Portland, Oregon as the location of TDIFest 2010 (September 3-5th) and it will be hosted by the following people:
Lead Organizers: Shalon Fraser (Zippy_car) and Brian Webber (Jetpuf)
Committee Members: Keli McCoy Weltchek (Keli_OR),Philip Schroder (Farfromovin),Pierre Bigras (tothemax),Justin Grow (oldpoopie) and Michele Vasquez (TDI Blue Meenies)
I'll be posting more this week from the proposal and we anticipate having registration up and running in early in the new year once a few more items are tweaked.
As for the Chicago proposal, it was very strong and I hope to see this proposal resubmitted for next year's event. Related to the selection process, I'd like to move the due date for proposal submission forward by about 4 months. This will enable the announcement of the next TDIFest location to take place at the closing dinner at the next TDIFest. For those that have been patiently waiting since Labour Day, you'll have just that much more time to plan.
Congratulations to the this years crew!
