I actually think Kings Games is a good idea for the GNOME Summit. I'd suggest trying to find another place for opening remarks closer to Kings Games. I think less traveling might be a good thing.

The bottom line is that every user needs net access.
There is no way any of the universities (or even most hotels)
can do with. We could only set that up at the NYLXS Education Center.
Both NYU and the New School originally balked over just this problem.
The costs of BC are creeping up as well. So, since I needed to make concrete
decisions with minimal guildence, I've commited us to the following.
My intention now is to do most of the Conference at the NYLXS Education Center,
which is housed at Kings Games. We're closing down the entire shop for the conference,
including both floors, and it will cost us $3000.00.
The introduction cerimonies I want to still do at BC, including Richard's and Nat's and my
opening remarks, then close for lunch and then open up at the Education Center a few blocks
away after the lunch break. We can work at the center up to midnight if we choose to without
any additional costs, which is another advantage.
I've had large problems communicating as I've needed with both Boston and CUNY, making this
harder than I wanted to be, but, fortunately, NYLXS has enough engrained resources to have backup
plans B, C and D.
