I revised the agenda based on the feedback from last week. Most changes are fairly minor, although I moved the vendor/distro round table after lunch to give us a chance to cover some in-progress work beforehand. As I mentioned elsewhere in the thread, I don't think we have enough time for work sessions on Tuesday. As others have pointed-out, there is plenty of time for extended discussions during the days at OLS. So I think we should keep Tuesday for more high-level design and development process discussions. Feel free to volunteer to cover any of the listed topics. Further suggestions to alter or augment the agenda are, of course, still welcome as well. Thanks!
