Conference taveng::bagels

    Great idea, only we could have done it on better by all meeting
    in Jerusalem.
    
    Ok I'll take on the organizing/coordinating responsibilities.  Now
    all I have to do is find a kosher gourmet restaurant for a dinner
    location, why there must be dozens located in the greater Boston
    area! no?  Seriously if anybody has ideas of where, when, etc. get
    back to me over the net (FSLENG:: or NONODE::), I'll take ideas
    and check them out.

    As a followup to the basenote and my reply, could all you baglers
    that will be attending DECworld list yourselves (name, DTN, E-Net,
    etc.)?
    
    I'll extract them, and use the file as a distribution list.

    ps everyone put your badge number in because then you can send mail
    via the Guest Services system at decworld which may or may not key
    off on badge numbers instead of names.
    
    

    I belive I will be at Decworld, at least some of the time.  We are
    announcing our product there.

    Since other programs, such as ELF also key off badge numbers, is
    it a good idea to put them in a notesfile?
    

    I'll be there, most certainly working the floor.

    Cafe Shalom in Brookline has become a "gourmet" restaurant. It's
    veg/dairy and the chef, Andrew, has come up with some great dishes.
    I'll be at DECWorld and would like to help make the Bagels-IG come
    together.

[1]  Brief description of DECworld 87 (what does it include, who is going
     to be there, what are its goals, etc.)

[2]  Assuming I'm gonna be in the area at that time, what arrangements should
     I make in order to see it?

[3]  General info of Digital facilities in the area, including people who
     participate in this conference...

    To keep it brief, DECWorld is Digital's corporate equivalent of
    a very large trade show. We will have all of our systems displayed
    there and there will be literally hundreds of applications running
    on them. We have not only our software, but software from our
    cooperative marketing partners and other third parties. Last DECWorld,
    about 40,000 people came, all by invitation only. This year, they
    are expecting over 60,000.
    
    Attendees at DECWorld consist of customers and sales people from
    around the world who come to see our capabilities. As I said, They
    can see massive amounts of hardware and applications software all
    in one location, and all working and networked together. People
    come to DECWorld by invitation only, and the local sales people
    determine who should be getting the invitations.
    
    This years theme for DECWorld is "The Network At Work". It will
    feature applications running under environments such as factory
    floor, engineering, office automation, etc.
    
    If you are at all interested in coming, you had better make reservation
    immediately. There is a severe shortage of hotel rooms in Boston
    for this event. In fact, Digital is bringing in two ocean liners,
    the Queen Elizabeth II and the Oceanic, to serve as extra hotel
    and meeting facilities.
    
    The actual show is being held at the Northeast Trade center in Boston.
    Additional meeting will take place at the various hotels in the
    area.
    
    I hope this answers some of your questions about DECWorld.
    
    Jack

    minor correction -- the show is being held at the "World Trade Center"
    located at Commonwealth Pier.  (The Northeast Trade Center is in
    Woburn, which would be a little inconvenient for the ships :-))

    You are right. Thanks for correcting me.
    
    Jack

    I'd like to attend also.
    
    I like in Brookline, two blocks from a trolley station which will
    take you to DECworld via public transportation, and easy walking
    from various shuls and Jewish food emporia.  
    
    I have two single rooms on the third floor of my house which I
    could make available to DECcies in town for DECworld.  There's
    a bathroom up there to share, with tub and shower.
    
    House is kosher-style, not full kosher.
    
    Let me know if you'd like Brookline accommodations.

    I'm working at DecWorld and live in Brookline.  (I guess they won't
    let me stay on the QE-II.)  I wish I can host a get-together but
    no space.
    
    As far as Koshor Resturants go, there arn't many.  I do know of
    Cafe Shalom and Rubin's, both in Brookline and just blocks apart
    from each other.  So what's the problem with setting a time at one
    of these places, and calling for reservations for 600.  Rubin's
    is closed on Mondays but maybe, they'll do something for such an
    event.
    
    As far as taking the 'T' to DecWorld, the closest stop is South Station
    (Red Line) and then quit a long walk, probably about 1.5 miles.
    There may be a bus from South Station to the World Trade Center
    but I don't know the schedules.  I did hear a rumor that shuttle
    service (by DEC) is being offered from LOGAN to the WTC, so if you
    want to take the Blue line to LOGAN, etc.
    

    Looks like I'll be there Sep. 14-18.

I seem to be hosting a backyard barbeque/picnic on Sunday, Sept. 13.
Visitors to DECworld (and other interesting people) would be most
welcome.  (I don't keep kosher, by the way.)

I live in Arlington, which is reasonably accessable by bus (from
Harvard Square.)  Send mail to me for details.

    I will probably not be going to DECWORLD but would still be interested
    in an "International Bagelers Meeting" since I live in beautiful
    MetroWest.

    For those attending DECWORLD and interested in more convenient kosher
    eating, there is a dairy restaurant, The Milk Street Cafe, in downtown
    Boston.  It is at the corner of Milk St. and Devonshire St.  They serve
    delicious veggie sandwiches, daily special entrees and some baked
    deserts.  They are, unfortunately only open business hours.  They also
    have another restaurant of the same name in Cambridge (I am not sure of
    the address). I think it is open longer hours.

in .15, I invited visitors to a picnic.  Some off-line correspondance
suggested that visitors who keep kosher would feel uncomfortable
at my non-kosher home.  The correspondant suggested we all get
together at one of the local restaurants.  This would be fine by me.


Martin.

    Addendum to .16

    The Milk Street Cafe is 10-15 minute walk from Trade Center

    For those of you who observe the Conservative p'sak concerning eating
    fish in restaurants (ie: fish with fins and scales are kosher when
    cooked and served in a non-kosher restaurant), the Trade Center is
    in the middle of the Boston water front and is surrounded by many
    good to very good restaurants specializing in seafood.

    Martin?  You invited some people to your house with
    the generosity of your heart and some people won't accept
    because you don't keep Kosher?

    I'm sorry, but I find that rude and obnoxious.  This may be
    a sore spot with me for various reasons but people who refuse
    to go into someone's house because they don't keep kosher ...

    I'm not certain that Martin wrote that people refused to come into
    his house.  He wrote that some people felt that others might feel
    uncomfortable.                                  ^^^^^^
    
    I would have no problems... I'd bring my own food--- which sometimes
    makes the host/ess uncomfortable (unless they are close friends).
    
    
    It does make sense to have the get-together somewhere where everyone
    can comfortably eat.  Cafe Shalom would certainly fit.
    
    ---Av

Nobody said they wouldn't come because I don't keep kosher.

    	I didn't say .whatever quite the way
    	I should have, or wanted to.
    
    	Maybe i'm sensative to that issue.
    
    	

Erev Tov,

There hasn't been much activity on this topic recently.  I was wondering
if any conclusions were reached on a where and when of getting together.

In other words, "Somebody say something!"

L'hit,
Gabi

    Ok, I'll say something.  It looks as though meeting at Cafe' Shalom
    seems to be the logical choice, at least that's the feeling I got
    from previous replies.  It's up to me to make contact with them
    and reserve at least 20 seats (20-30 is what I estimate), but I'm
    going to have to have give them a date.  So....I need to get
    everybody's suggestion for a day.  This should be interesting, getting 
    a consensus via this notesfile.
    
    DECworld(somehow that name makes me think of something like "Carpet
    City"!) runs between Sept. 8 - 18.  I'll leap in first, I vote for
    Thursday, the 11th.
    
    David

    Sorry, I miscalculated.  Sept.11th is a Friday, I meant Thursday
    the 10th.  (thanks Gavriel)
    
    David

    Sounds good to me.  What time??  Say about 7:00pm.  Hopefully must
    of the dinner rush will be gone by then.

Well so far I've counted 5 1/2 (1/2 = may not be able to make it) replies to 
my message of last week.  I need to know by tomorrow at the latest what people 
would like to order for dinner on Thursday at Cafe Shalom.  The choices again 
are:

	Grilled Salmon - $14.95

	Broiled Schrod - $ 8.95

	Stir-fried veggies - $ 6.95
