Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the timeline went something like: - Sunday evening, meeting adjourns - Monday noon-ish, first real draft of the meeting report posted - Tuesday morning, everyone who needs to review it gets on a plane - Tuesday evening, DPL candidates have their deadline for responding to LWN interview questions (all times UTC-0800) I hope you'll be somewhat forgiving of the people involved for the unfortunate case of timing at work here. -- Steve Langasek postmodern programmer
