2012 I.T.SPEC*tacular ( I.T.FEST) registration now open

[Greg Amy]

Too bad you're running SM with STL; you're missing out on a great opportunity for double-dippers (at ITA's great expense of potential SM conflicts). but I can't really offer any constructive options.

FF2000 and FF1600 separate groups? Is this some kinda festival for them, too? Are they that close in speeds -- or large in numbers -- that there would be conflict?

Wish I could join you guys this year, it has been far too long since the last one. I'll be back soon enough. - GA

On edit: actually, here's my suggestion. Swap groups 3 and 4 so that ITA and SM are back-to-back, discouraging SM competitors from double-dipping in ITA (after all, it's a festival for ITA, not SM, right?) Then move STL to the small-bore Prod and GTL group, giving SM'ers some place to play if they choose to double-dip.

3) SRF, EP, FP, HP, GTL, STL
4) ITA, IT7, ITC
5) SM, STU
