[zephyr-announce] (Reminder) Sun 20 Feb Zephyr mini-conference call for RSVPs and talks

[Kevin Riggle]

Ack, I just noticed that I included the wrong URL for the 
zephyr-announce mailing list.  The URL should be

http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/zephyr-announce

not

http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/zephyr

At some point we should figure out which zephyr lists should be unified
or obsoleted.

> tl;dr  Zephyr mini-conference, Sunday, February 20, around MIT.  RSVP

> Hi people interested in Zephyr,
> 
> We (meaning Karl Ramm, current Zephyr maintainer, and me as organizer)
> are trying to get together a small Zephyr conference thing in Cambridge,
> Massachusetts on the Sunday of Presidents' Day weekend, February 20, 
> 2011.  Never having done this before, we have no idea how many people 
> will be interested or show up, so if you will be coming, I'm requesting
> you RSVP to zephyr-organizers at mit.edu by no later than Sunday, February
> 6, so I have time to find a large enough space for us on or around 
> MIT's campus.  
> 
> We're also looking for people to give short, not especially formal 
> talks, probably no more than 30 minutes for the talk itself and 30 
> minutes for discussion.  (The topics Karl suggested he might talk about
> were "Future protocol directions," "NATs: threat or menace?", and 
> "Things I would like someone else to do with zwgc".)  To that end, if 
> you have something you'd like to talk about, please send e-mail with
> the subject and a brief description to zephyr-organizers at mit.edu by 
> Sunday, February 6 (the same date as for RSVPs) and we'll figure out
> the schedule.
> 
> We'll work out exact scheduling details once we have some idea how many
> people have things to talk about.  As general guidelines, I'd expect 
> not to begin much before 10a and not to end much later than 6p, though
> it wouldn't surprise me if a dinner mob develops following.  
> 
> We obviously don't have a hotel or anything official like that.  There
> are a few options in the area, which Google Maps knows better than I 
> do.  Let me know at zephyr-organizers at mit.edu if you're having trouble 
> finding lodging, and we'll work something out.
> 
> A word on mailing lists:  You're all receiving this because you are on
> zephyr-announce at mit.edu, which I populated from a few lists for 
> zephyr-interested people (barnowl-dev at mit.edu mostly) or were otherwise
> known to be zephyr-interested.  zephyr-announce is managed through MIT's
> Mailman list infrastructure, and you can unsubscribe or manage your 
> subscription at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/zephyr .  You 
> can also e-mail me at zephyr-organizers at mit.edu and I'll take you off 
> the list.  Zephyr will be moving to its own mailing list infrastructure
> eventually, but bootstrapping off MIT's infrastructure was the fastest
> way to get things to moving forward.
> 
> That said, this is *NOT* a limited invite!  Please forward this to 
> anyone you think would be interested.
> 
> Hope to see you in February!

> Best,
