As soon as they come back with a hopefully positive answer, then the AOO PMC can start discussing content/targets/marketing etc. I basically expect LF to provide a room for the event, in parallel with the cloudstack room. That way the AOO community gets more aquinted with ASF and visa versa. At the end of the day, success of such events always boils down to individuals making it happen, LF provide the facilities, PMC group provide the guidelines and individuals do the hard work. rgds jan I > Regards, > Andrea. > --089e01494308714ce504f7c59c89--
