Reminder: ODF Summit details & logistics

[Nathaniel S Borenstein <nborenst@us.ibm.com>]

This coming Friday is the ODF summit
hosted by Sun and IBM in Armonk, NY.  If you are planning to come
*or* attend remotely, and have not yet RSVP'ed, please do so as soon as
possible.

The agenda is still in a state of flux.
 If you have items you want to make sure are on the agenda, please
send me mail or mention it during tomorrow's (10/31) TC conference call.
 (Rob Weir and Michael Brauer will be taking note of these ideas,
since I will have to miss tomorrow's call.)

For thost planning to attend remotely,
here is a repeat of the information you will need to join the audio AND
web conferences.  Those of you who do NOT have an IBM conferencing
ID should try not to wait until the very last moment to get one and test
its functioning -- see the section "PREPARE FOR THE WEB CONFERENCE"
below.
