My initial thought is that If we did something similar to the very
first time, specifically with PSU at PSU, it would be easier to
schedule a room in December, assuming the buildings don't shutdown for
the winter break but it may be easier to get a more PSU people
involved if it was done in January. I don't think I have a feel for
whether a weekend or weekday would be a better time to have it...
