I personally would prefer Sun, Mon, Tue, but for very selfish reasons. On
the other hand, they're selfish reasons others may share :-)
A Saturday stayover is required for most lower fares. That given, I would
probably want to fly in on Friday afternoon/evening so I could meet area
friends and go out on Friday and Saturday nights. I'm assuming that I'd
socialize with the other conference participants on the nights of the
conference.

In our experience and discussions, and much of what I've heard from others,
printing is a significant enough (ahem) nightmare to warrant it's own chunk
of time...
>Support -- central, distributed, students
>Funding models
>Residential programming -- computers and the community
>Video services and commercial cable TV
>Security and privacy
Add "Ethics" to this one...
>[and] Network management, monitoring
I would also suggest:
Leasing programs
Off-campus (off-network) software services access (to match on-campus
services when possible)
