[Desktop_architects] Next LF Collaboration Summit

[Amanda McPherson]

Save the date! We now have the final date and location of the next  
Linux Foundation Collaboration Summit. IBM is graciously hosting this 
event at IBM/University of Texas Commons Center in Austin, Texas.  
http://www.utexas.edu/commons/

The Summit will be April 8 - 10, 2008. The format will  be similar to 
last year: April 8th will be a general day with panels and general 
discussion and the inclusion of press and analysts. (And a social 
event!) Days two and three will hold workgroup meetings (such as DAM, 
LSB, CGL, etc) and collaboration sessions. I am working with leaders 
from the workgroups, the Technical Advisory Board, the Vendor Advisory 
Council and internal staff to organize the agenda. We should expect 
another great group of leaders from the development, distribution, end 
user, ISV and vendor communities.
 
We will also be launching a new events site  in January to handle 
registration for this and our other events (Linux Plumbers Conference, 
Kernel Summit, etc). Keep an eye out for that announcement. You can 
still access details from last year's Summit at http://www.linux-summit.org

If you are a leader of a workgroup and I haven't contacted you, please 
let me know if you'd like space at the summit and if you'd like to be 
involved in the agenda planning.

This should be an exciting and fruitful event. I look forward to seeing 
you all in Austin,

Amanda
