I'm also interested, but, for me, being in US or in Europe requires me some months in advance for planning. > That is at least my intention.

So, except if I can get some sponsor, I probably won't be able to be on the interim meeting. I'm planning to be on LPC, so we can schedule the subsystem mini-summit to happen in Cambridge, MA, US, in November. > There will also be an Embedded Linux Conference this fall in Europe.

If there are enough interested people, I may be able to organize a meeting on Red Hat's office in Sao Paulo, Brazil.
