Well, that's why I was suggesting doing this as a LPC BOF, and using an LPC BOF session on Friday --- I'm very much aware we don't have the right tehcnical people at the Maintainer Summit. It's not clear we will have enough MM folks at the LPC, and I agree LSF/MM would be a better venue --- but as you say, it's not happening. We could also use the BBB infrastructure after the LPC as well, if we can't get everyone lined up and available on short notice. There are a lot of different possibilities; I'm for anything where all of the stakeholders agree will work, so we can make forward progress. Cheers, - Ted
