Subject: Re: [tipc-discussion] REMINDER - TIPC Working Group Meeting on Thursday

Hello people,

I am the backup of Laurent. I worked past few weeks on having the necessary 
glue implemented in the Solaris 10 kernel to be able to implement new socket 
types, in our case AF_TIPC.

I thought I could attend the meeting tomorrow but forgot a critical appointment 
I had downtown this day.
I'm sorry but I won't be able to attend.

cheers,

Renaud.
