That looks way too conservative. If kernel summit had 500+ attendees, I can see why you'd need a such long lead time. But at around 80 people we fit into a middle sized meeting room at any hotel with conference facilities. Booking something that size doesn't need two years notice (unless you happen to conflict with some other huge event in the same city). Plus if a local team is going to flake on you, chances are high that you won't find out until <6 months before the event ... so the 2 year plan wouldn't help at all. -Tony - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
