[K12OSN] OT: Conferences in Midwest

[Eric Brown]

There's the Iowa Technology in Education Connection conference held in Des
Moines this October (http://www.itec-ia.org/confer/index.htm).  I just found
out that my proposal to run a workshop on K12LTSP just got accepted.  Linux
was incredibly under represented at the last conference (a few vendors had
linux powered devices, but no workshops).  

I look forward to seeing other responces to this question.  I've wondered
why more conferences aren't held in a more central geographic locations.

I apologize to the moderators, I posted the message with the wrong email
addy the first time I tried.

Off topic from K12LTSP but since all types of information is shared and
discussed....

I am looking for anyone with leads (and preferably websites) on midwest area
conferences.  I was thinking of a conference geared towards K12 
folk, but not a teacher conference.    Something geeky ;-)

The group I work with is located in Michigan but we are closer to 
Minneapolis, and Chicago than we are to Detroit.   I've found a great 
conference in Michigan (MAEDS) and Wisconsin (Brainstorm), but I open to new
places and pools of knowledge.

I suppose if the conference is good and the price is right (read "cheap"), I
am open to suggestions for any other conferences across the US too.  I made
the trek to NELS in Maine this year and that was another gem.

Thanks eh.

Scott
