[opensolaris-summit] Notes from 9/11 OpenSolaris Developer Summit planning meeting

[Sara Dornsife]

We held our first OpenSolaris Developer Summit meetings. The first one 
at 8am PT and the send at 3p PT on Tuesday 9/11/07.

The first call was poorly attended having just me, Jesse Silver, and Ian 
Murdock in attendance (plus a mysterious and cheeky silent guest who 
never identified themselves).

The second call had a few more people....

Eric Boutilier
Jesse Silver
Dave Stewart
Shawn Walker
Ian Murdock
Joerg Schilling
Chris Baker
Glynn Foster
Sara Dornsife

The purpose of our first call was to try to nail down the agenda and 
make sure that we had the right people in attendance. We created two 
lists. One of the people who should be there, but hadn't signed up. And 
the second of topics, based on what had already been submitted.

Most of the people needed work for Sun and we split up the efforts to 
contact them directly and ask if they attend.

Please let me know what I missed or got wrong. Next week we will focus 
on narrowing and slotting these into the schedule. And we will make sure 
that we have leaders for each session.
