Ted, I'm curious about how many (who?) have indicated that they'll attend on Friday so far? I had indicated that I'd like to attend; however, I don't have the travel budget* to go 2 days earlier, I'm afraid. I probably won't even stay for all of collab summit. I thought it worked pretty well before when we just grabbed a room for a couple hours... doing that on the first day of collab summit (avoiding the xfs timeslot... whenever that is) would work a lot better for me. Thanks, -Eric * or the spousal-tolerance budget, TBH > Regards, > > - Ted > -- > To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ext4" in > the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ext4" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
