I'm delighted to see so many people interested in a new project, and hope you guys have a really successful BOF! I've switched it back to 20:30 on Wednesday.
Dan, in future, please, please don't schedule your BOF without first checking with the planners team for the event ([EMAIL PROTECTED], or [EMAIL PROTECTED]), and letting us know you need to stick to the time given, if people are coming in for just one day. I know you mailed us to say that you'd put the BOF on the wiki - and flipped the "confirmed" bit - but scheduling is a whole other ballgame =) Cassie, thanks for mailing me - I'm the conference lead for the upcoming conference in Amsterdam, and I really don't want to rain on anyone's parade. That said, there's no way I can keep up with all the lists we have at the ASF! So if there's anything you guys need, please feel free to get in touch =) Noirin On Wed, Apr 2, 2008 at 11:31 AM, Cassie <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > So it looks like this was the change that did it: > http://wiki.apache.org/apachecon/BirdsOfaFeatherEu08?action=diff&rev2=56&rev1=55 > > and the change was made by Noirin who looks like someone who is setting up > the bofs.
