[topicmaps-comment] Orlando meeting - who's coming?

[Eric Freese <eric@isogen.com>]

A few weeks ago I asked for people to let me know if they were coming to the
TopicMaps.Org plenary meeting on December 15.  I have received only 4
affirmative responses.  This, in my opinion, is not enough to hold a
meeting.  Hopefully, people's plans have solidified some since the last
request.

If you are planning to attend the XTM meeting on Saturday, December 15,
please send me email before the close of business on Wednesday, November 14.

Based on the responses, I will determine whether there will actually be
enough attendees to make holding a meeting worthwhile.  My current thinking
is that we need at least 6 people to make a meeting worthwhile.  I will
announce whether there will be a meeting or not by the end of this week.
This will allow people to modify travel plans accordingly.

The main issues to be discussed include: 1) the charter for the member
section and 2) progress on the current TC(s).  The charter can be put off,
resulting in a delay in officially forming the member section.  The TC is
already meeting during the week.

If we do not meet in Orlando, the next scheduled meeting is in March
following the Knowledge Technologies conference.
