Hence this email is exploring the possibility of us doing something we have never done for IIO before and have a formal meet up. I would propose the topics to discuss would be loosely around future directions for IIO development. This might consist of actual proposals or simply discussion of pain points. I'm not sure how long a session would be sensible, but one possibility is to propose it as a BoF as that fits in their standard schedule without needing any additional organization - I think by default that only gives us an hour or so. However, the deadline to propose one of those is this Sunday so things are little tight. We don't need a fully planned schedule but it would be good to have made a start. If we decide to do this I'll write an abstract and submit it. So I'm looking for topics and some idea of who is going to be there or might be persuaded to make the trip! Chances are we won't actually 'finish' any non trivial discussions, but it is a lot easier to make progress on topics that you've at least outlined in person. Please forward to anyone who may be interested and might not see it on the list before Sunday. Obviously Sunday isn't a cut off for discussion, it's just when I have hope to be able to draw together a proposal! Jonathan p.s. I'm planning to put a normal talk session proposal in as well. It'll trawl through a bit of the history of IIO (it's 10 years old this year!), lessons learned etc. Not a tutorial, but an analysis of some more general useful stuff with just enough description of IIO to let the uninitiated know what we are talking about! I'll also touch on encouraging new contributors etc. No idea if the committee will like that approach, so who knows ;)
