I'm a newcomer, so forgive me butting in a bit. One thing to keep in 
mind, is that if the location will always be in Boston, calling the 
event either a Massachusetts installfest or a New England Installfest 
might get old for those of us who are in MA and/or in New England but 
don't live in Boston. Some of us out in the Western part of MA, for 
instance, can get a bit snippy about the bad habit of some Boston 
residents to forget the rest of the state. :-)

If however, there are plans to move this around (like at UMass Amherst, 
or Greenfield CC or some such) then I'm happy to be quiet, and I'll be 
glad to help organize an event out here.

Peace,
Michelle
