Subject: RE: [cmis] From Plugfest to PlugParty?


HI all,

to summarize: Most people like this idea and most of the Europeans have indicated that they would like to participate. Great!!! So I think we should make this happen.

To my understanding there were no objections to the proposed location and time and the preferred duration seems to be two days.

Can we agree to this?

Jens, this is a great idea.

David, thank you for the invite. I can attend the Basel PlugParty in  
person.

I would suggest two days to cover the various combinations of server,  
client and binding.

Regards,
Dave
