====== F2F Options ======

We're considering three different types of venues for the CSSWG F2F, which would be one of the **last two weeks in July** (likely 17th, to accommodate fremy, if no one else has stronger constraints).

**UPDATE**: The F2F will finally happen in Cupertino: https://wiki.csswg.org/planning/cupertino-2023

===== Option 1: West Coast Corporate =====

  * Likely venue: a conference room in the Apple offices in Cupertino or San Diego.
  * Ventilation will likely be standard office ventilation without operable windows.
  * Dial-in for Europe will be during night hours (6pm to 2am Central European)
  * Nearby hotels are not cheap, and will definitely need a car to get around.
  * No off-hours hangout space.

===== Option 2: Mid-Atlantic East Coast =====

  * Possible venues: [[https://www.rockwoodcarriagehouse.com/|Rockwood Carriage House]] in Wilmington, DE or [[https://www.nallsarch.com/projects/higher-education/campus-club-princeton/|Princeton University Campus Club]] in Princeton, NJ
  * These venues have lots of operable windows.
  * Full workday has reasonable dial-in overlap with Europe.
  * Nearby hotels are not cheap, and will definitely need a car to get to them; but downtown Wilmington or Princeton is walkable.
  * Might be able to arrange off-hours hangout space on site.

===== Option 3: Cancun AirBnB =====

  * Venue option: [[https://www.airbnb.com/luxury/listing/41774579|Waterfront Villa]]
  * This venue completely opens up to the outside.
  * Full workday has reasonable dial-in overlap with Europe.
  * Venue includes on-site lodging and catering, and there are nearby lodging options that are also not too expensive; no need for a car.
  * Lots of opportunities for off-hours discussions.

Note: Wrt expensing, we can invoice companies in whatever breakdown of lodging/food/event-ticket cost seems easiest to approve.

===== Additional Notes =====

  * Option 1 is the easiest to organize.
  * Option 2’s Princeton variant has the best ice cream.
  * Option 3’s “all inclusive” aspect allows a variety of options for load-balancing costs depending on each person's available travel funding.
