Since Rich was already unable to attend the July meeting, I would like
to find a way to accommodate his schedule if possible. I'm not sure
that it is critical that we have a meeting too hard on the heels of
the Dec one, so perhaps something in Feb (or even March) makes the
most sense.
Given travel restrictions, perhaps a telepresence approach makes the
most sense. I'm willing and able to travel within reason, so the Forum
or midwest is fine with me. I sympathize with Rich's travel situation
wrt the Forum dates, but I don't know how to provide the telepresence
to ORNL. Jeff: do you?
Perhaps we should discuss this at the Tues telecon? Might go faster
there. Anyone who isn't going to be on that telecon should please
speak up on this email thread ASAP.

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.
My Jan is open, and I can travel wherever required. However, given
that many people are under heavy travel constraints, and that the
majority of you will be at the MPI Forum, would it make sense to
tack it on before/after that meeting? I'm not sure Jan is a
requirement, especially given the holiday break after the Dec
meeting.
Just wanted to add that Sun is interested in these meetings too but
are also under strict travel restrictions so doing this via CISCOs
telepresence, concall or at the Forum meeting suits us best then a
special meeting.
