Hi Steve, A sprint sounds like a good idea. Xilinx would be very happy to host it here in San Jose, both March 2-6 (preferred) or March 9-13 would work. Otherwise, it would be challenging for Tomas and me to join a meeting in Europe outside of Linaro Connect. I know you suggested to rule out Linaro Connect, but I think we could make it work as a focused colocated event in Budapest the same week. Could that be an option?
