Ext4 developer's workshop website is now up

[Theodore Ts'o]

Hi there,

I've put together a quick website for the ext4 developer's workshop:

	https://sites.google.com/site/ext4workshop2012/

Please fill out the registration form on that site if you are planning
on attending.

Also, please note that the deadline for requesting an invite to the LSF
Workshop is coming up quickly: this coming Sunday (February 5th).  So
you should get your topic suggestions or request to attend to the LSF
program committee this week!

Thanks for putting this together!

One question, any chance to pull it back closer in to LSF or have it on one of 
the collab summit days? Having it take place on the Friday adds several hotel 
nights I suspect for non-locals (and significant cost)....

Well, keep in mind that LSF is starting Sunday already, so it means
for people who are from out of town, the weekend[1] is already shot;
there were issues with hotel space, from what I was told when I asked
Angela, which is why it's Sunday and Monday as opposed to Monday and
Tuesday.

[1] Which for me means I miss participating in my church's Palm Sunday
celebration, and LSF and the Collab Summit overlaps with Holy Week.
On the other hand I believe it was last year that Collab Summit
overlaps with Passover, so I guess it's equal-opportunity stomping on
religious holdays.  :-/

So it's really only two extra hotel nights; if we met on Saturday
instead of Friday, it gets hard for people who are local to the bay
area, as well as people who might be conferencing continuously from
the Ext4 Workshop, through LSF, through to the Collab Summit.  And
meeting during the LSF gets hard from a scheduling point of view,
especially since XFS is already meeting (all day?) during Collab
Summit already.

Also, there are some relatively inexpensive hotels (under $100/day) in
the South Bay, and if necessary I would be happy to organize some car
pools so that people can get back and forth from their hotels to the
Google Campus, and from Mountain View up to San Francisco on Saturday
to save on ground transportation results.

Regards,

Ted, I'm curious about how many (who?) have indicated that they'll attend
on Friday so far?

I had indicated that I'd like to attend; however, I don't have the travel
budget* to go 2 days earlier, I'm afraid.  I probably won't even stay for all
of collab summit.

I thought it worked pretty well before when we just grabbed a room for
a couple hours... doing that on the first day of collab summit (avoiding
the xfs timeslot... whenever that is) would work a lot better for me.

Thanks,
-Eric

* or the spousal-tolerance budget, TBH
