hi Jon / Jason,

I'll be coming to the US Moot on my way back to Oz from Railsconf (in Portland). Is there a particular hotel where folk for the Moot will be staying (the moot website just has a link to the 20-30 hotels in the area)? Are there any group bookings/rates arranged?

Cheers - looking forward to the Moot!

Good Morning,

We opened a wiki on the course for the SF Moot on moodlemoot.org for attendees to list where they are staying, but so far we don't have any participation. I'll ping everyone and see if we can encourage more activity. You can find the wiki at:

Thanks, we'll see you in June!

Cross Post Alert!


The 2008 Moodle Moot in San Francisco is coming up quickly. We have only 10 more days to register with the early bird discount. In addition, there are a few other conferences happening in San Francisco during the same days as the Moot, the most notable being the Apple WWDC conference. The folks that I've spoken with at the hotels near the conference center have said that they have space now, but that they expect it to fill up soon. I recommend that if you are planning to join us, you get registered soon and secure a hotel room.

We are quite familiar with the restrictions that purchasing departments put on registering and attending conferences. If you have any special needs, you can contact me directly at:

We will be able to accommodate any special needs that you may have. Thanks, and we hope to see you in June,
