I don't know who's interested, so I thought I'd bring it up on the
devel list: let's start the basics for the January ORTE meeting. We
may be able to sketch out an agenda, but frankly, it may depend on how
far we get in the December meeting. So we may not be able to fully
decide that yet.
But I thought we might be able to list out the high level goals and
start discussing location, length of the meeting, and dates.
* Cisco has some heavy travel restrictions right now, so I would not
be able to attend unless we have it here in Louisville again, or
perhaps Bloomington (i.e., I can make day trips to drive there). I do
have a Telepresence unit in Louisville now, so we could conference in
Boxborough (i.e., Sun) for 1-2 hours at a time, if desirable. That
being said, my presence is probably not critical to these meetings, so
don't let this be a gating factor.
* My January is fairly open at this point; I have no scheduled travel
[yet]. I *may* become unavailable the week of Jan 5 (i.e., first full
week in Jan), which might not be desirable for an ORTE meeting anyway
because a) we'll all be recovering from the holidays, and b) it's
unlikely that anyone will have had a chance to do much/anything since
the December ORTE meeting.
* Point of information: the next Forum meeting is in the California
Bay area on Feb 9-11, 2009.
