[ewg] Upcoming teleconferences

[Jeff Squyres]

Short version:
--------------

We have an irregular schedule of OFED teleconferences coming up: some  
weeks will be on Tuesdays and some weeks will be skipped.  Due to the  
way Outlook schedules meetings, you are about to get ***6*** Outlook  
meeting e-mails:

1. For new teleconference Oct 29 (next Monday)
2. For a new series of teleconferences starting Nov 20th
3. Update to the Nov 20th teleconference (to Tuesday, Nov 21st)
4. Update to the Nov 27th teleconference (to Tuesday, Nov 28th)
5. Cancel the Dec 24th teleconference
6. Cancel the Dec 31st teleconference

Please accept all of them.

Longer explanation:
-------------------

Here's the schedule for the next few months of teleconferences  
(starting *NEXT WEEK*).  We're going to a weekly schedule while  
gearing up for the OFED v1.3 release, but with some notable exceptions:

- a break for SC07
- two weeks will be on Tuesday to accommodate holiday weekends
- a break for Christmas/New Year's

Here's the specific dates:

Oct 29
Nov 5
Nov 20 (Tue)
Nov 27 (Tue)
Dec 3
Dec 10
Dec 17
Jan 7
Jan 14
Jan 21

Outlook doesn't let you schedule a series of custom dates into a  
single string of meetings, so I have to do a series of actions that  
will result in *6* meeting e-mails (at least, that's what's happened  
in my testing :-) ).

I realize that this is somewhat confusing, but doing it this way will  
minimize the number of teleconference ID's over the next 3 months.   
Specifically: having changing teleconference ID numbers has shown to  
be problematic -- I get bombarded with "the ID code doesn't work!!" e- 
mails starting about 5 minutes into the teleconference.  So I chose  
to optimize for a smaller number of teleconference ID's vs. less  
confusing Outlook actions.
