I'd be glad to clarify.

Invitations for the council meetings will be going out soon, and all the
member companies on the lf_vac* lists will be invited.  Based on the
vendor advisory council call a couple weeks ago, the agenda is likely
going to be something like...

    Combined User/Vendor/TAB meeting - intros and getting everything
                                       on the table

    UAC/VAC/TAB breakouts - chance for these councils to define
                            themselves and how they want to operate

    Focus group breakouts - initial focus groups were server, desktop,
                            and embedded

    Workgroup meetings - this was really fuzzy, but included involvement
                         in some of the DAM/LSB workgroups as well as 
                         topics of specific interest to the councils 
                         (device drivers, printing, embedded profile,
                         audio/mm, packaging, kernel message db, CGL)

Peter is correct that there have been some competing dates going around.
We were able to work with Google to move the dates for this event out of
the weekend!  So, the meetings will June 13-15 (Wed-Fri).

The basic layout of the meetings are:

Wednesday, June 13: Plenary session of the Linux Foundation members
including key note addresses and breakout problem solving sessions.
Sessions include keynotes from LF executive director Jim Zemlin and
Ubuntu founder Mark Shuttleworth. Panels will feature key individuals
from the kernel, legal, end user and distribution communities. 

Thursday, June 14: Workgroup sessions on desktop, LSB, and meetings of
the LF's End User, Vendor and Developer Advisory Councils. 

Friday, June 15: Technical deep dives on the following topics: Printing,
multimedia/audio, packaging and kernel messaging.

So....

Stay tuned.  Invitations will be coming out shortly.

Cheers,
John
