[tm-pubsubj] TC meeting in Seattle : hosted by Boeing

[Bernard Vatant <bernard.vatant@mondeca.com>]

Folks

After a lot of tractations on date/place/cost of PubSubj, GeoLang and XMLVoc TCs in
Seattle (see below exchanges), we finally had a gentle proposition from Scott Tsao to have
the TCs meetings hosted (the day after the conference) at Boeing facilities in Renton
(about half an hour driving from Seattle downtown) on March 14th.
I think we could meet, following Eric's idea, on Westin lounge around 8.00 am, and charter
cabs from there.

As you can read below, Scott needs personal information to have a visitor badge for every
participant.
Please send those infos to Scott ASAP.

Thanks

Bernard

It's done.

Now, I need the following information from each participant:
- Name (First + Last)
- Company Represented
- Citizenship
- Former Boeing Employee? (Yes/No)

This will allow me to apply for visitor badge for everyone.

Thanks,

Scott

If it's not asking too much, please do.  This will enable break out sessions
if needed.

Thanks again!
