I also think this is a good idea. It would give the RCS folks a
bit more publicity and general visibility. I'm not overly fond of
Providence, RI, but the area near Brown University is nice. It'd
still be easy for people to stay in Boston and catch a train
(or drive) down to the event.

I was really impressed with the RCS collection when I visited this
summer--as for it's scope and diversity. The one gripe I'd have is
that it's nearly impossible to view or access much of the equipment,
as it's all packed in so tightly. Would they have the space to host
VCF East 2.0?
