The thought was that the later meetings would be less frequent and one day longer...

Rich --

Did you mean June 25-27 and Dec 3-5? (you said June 25-28 and Dec 3-6)

Also, if you put the meetings in Portland and Chicago, then Microsoft will be hosting *ALL* of them. Was that intended? Will Microsoft be willing to do that? Will we all be willing to put up with intermittent wifi at every meeting? (sorry, it's true...)

I'd be willing to keep hosting at Cisco in San Jose, CA.

At the last meeting we had general agreement to continue the current pace of meetings until MPI 3.0 is finalized, and then go down to 4 meetings a year, but longer meetings. The time frame we have set for MPI 3.0 means that the first 3 meetings in 2012 will continue at the current pace, and then we will cut back to quarterly. Here is a first suggestion for meeting dates - please send any conflicts that you are aware of. Also, there has been a push to move the west coast meetings to Portland, OR - are people OK with that ?

Thanks, Rich

Jan 9-11: Portland, OR March 5-7: Chicago, IL April 30 - May 2: Portland, OR - Final MPI 3.0 vote June 25-28: Chicago, IL Sept: In conjunction with EuroMPI Dec 3-6: Portland, OR _______________________________________________ mpi-forum mailing list [email protected] http://lists.mpi-forum.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/mpi-forum
