[Input needed, open until Monday Aug 12th] Should we have an invite only, 1/2 day developer meeting before Xen Developer Summit (i.e. in the afternoon of October 23, Edinburgh, UK)

[Lars Kurth]

Hi all,

last year, we had a very productive 1/2 day face-2-face meeting before 
the Xen Developer Summit. The question is, whether we should do this 
again this year. I checked with the Linux Foundation and we can get the 
space if we want to. But, I do not (yet) have the budget secured from 
the Advisory Board.

What need to know before the next board meeting is:
a) Do you think we should have the meeting at all (i.e. do you think it 
is valuable)?
b) Would you attend, if we have it?

Please reply via +1 to each question

If there is not enough feedback or the numbers of developers who would 
attend is too low, it will be hard to make the case for the funds that 
we need to host the face-2-face. So, MAKE SURE YOU REPLY, even if you 
agree with everybody else. Also the numbers, will help me judge the cost 
(and will determine the number of places that will be available).

Best Regards
Lars

Hi Lars,

If someone (such as myself) has interest in this event, but was not on an
'invite only' list in the past, are you looking for such feedback?

Thanks
Ben

It's goign to clash with the last afternoon of KVM Forum. Is that 
usually busy? LinuxCon will have only the uninteresting talks on the 3rd 
day. If you look at the LinuxCon NA schedule, you will see a similar 
pattern.

I can't say, the schedule is not out yet.

It is invite only in the sense of the Hackathons, where we have limited 
space. What we do there is
a) Anybody can request an invite
b) If it somebody who is totally unknown in the community asks for an 
invite, we will likely put them onto a waiting list
c) People who are known and have contributed will get an invite
d) If we still have space we go through the waiting list and see 
how/whether they can fit in

To answer your question: anybody who is active on these lists and wants 
to attend should be able to get a space. The only possibility where we 
don't have enough space is if say 20 people say they want to come 
replying to the thread, I book space for 30 and then 60 people request 
an invite. In practice this isn't likely though.

Does this answer your question?

Regards
Lars

Yes to if can make it. If I can't make it - somebody else from our
team will surely make it.

Looks like we have 12 for a dev meeting and 12 would attend (if they can 
make it, or send somebody else), including replies to me made in private.
Any more?

Yes it is happening. I sent a mail 2 to the list weeks ago. I sent out a mail earlier today to get input on revised timing. I would try and arrive the evening before or in the early hours of wed 8ish or so
