theJune 24-25 makes sense from looking at people's preferences. Allan do
you know if you're unavailable from the 26th? Sri, could you add your

These are the people we identified before as good people to help contribute:

 * Allan
 * Andreas
 * Emmanuele
 * Karen
 * Garrett
 * Jon McCann
 * Lucas Rocha
 * Vincent
 * Stormy
 * Sri

 * Jim Nelson (Yorba)
 * Guy Lunardi (Collabora)
 * John Sullivan (FSF)
 * Alex (Skud) Bayley
 * Nick Richards (formerly Intel)
 * Karl Fogel
 * Havoc Pennington

If we get the date settled, I can invite them, or we can even set up a
call to discuss it, with some people in person. Anyone else to add?
