Hi Ralf,

The CTCNet conference ends on the afternoon of the 13th, so that morning 
Seattle time, (ie late afternoon Berlin time), would make the most sense. 
CTCNet has kindly offered to let us use their PC lab to participate in a 
virtual meeting that morning; we would simply have to supply the platform 
and any necessary media capture devices (namely a microphone and/or PC 
video camera).  I'm also exploring the possibility of holding an informal 
"birds of  a feather" meeting at CTCNet that saturday afternoon as well. 
So I don't think we should necessarily try to each stream our entire 
meetings; rather, we should set aside a particular time with a structured 
list of issues/topics to discuss over the course of an hour or so.

We've just started talking with Derrick Cogburn about virtual 
collaboration tools for holding the meeting; Derrick, could you CC Ralf 
when you respond to the list?

thanks,
ac

That could be interesting. We are still looking for video-conference
facilities and will get back to both of you. I am not sure, though, if
we can stream the whole meeting. 

But our WSIS meeting is on the 13th, and the Seattle conf. ends on the
12th? 
What would be a good timing for you then? I thought of a brief exchange
of reports on both conferences. Maybe we can also get someone from the
Wizards of OS conference to report on their outcomes. Let's keep in
touch.

Best, 

Ralf
