coreboot meeting this summer!

[Stefan Reinauer]

Hey folks!

the coreboot meeting in Prague last year was a great success, and I
suggest that we have a get together this year.

To alternate between continents, I would like to organize a coreboot
project meeting in San Jose, California this summer. I have talked to a
few people, and it seems that end of June could be a good time frame for
this.

If you are interested in joining this summer, if you have ideas, or
concerns, please contact me, so we can get the planning started as soon
as possible and make this happen.

Let me know what you think.

Thanks,
Stefan

I think many individual contributors can't afford cross continent travel.

Even if funding would be available I think travel to the US is
unattractive for very many.

Chances are June will not work for me.

All meetings thusfar have been in Europe. Take a little give a little.

Given all the high-tech ability in this group, I wonder if a joint,
transglobal, meeting using gvc from san jose to whereever would work :-)

I absolutely agree with you, Peter. Hence it is a good idea to have
meetings on different continents, to open up to individual contributors
that can't afford to travel to Europe or the US. Traditionally there
were more meetings in Europe, so here's the opportunity to even things
out a little bit.

I hope that our European and Asian (and others!) parts of our community
feel encouraged to organize meetings where we can engage face to face.
