[ofa-general] Update on the Sonoma Workshop - plse check all the attached information

[Bill Boas]

Dear Member of the OpenFabrics Community,

 

This email is sent to you 2 weeks before for 3 reasons

 

1)       to tell you who is attending, what is the agenda at moment and to
ask you to check your personal status with regard to your registration,
hotel reservation and speaking commitment;

2)       to ask you to check with your colleagues, your friends and your
business to encourage those you know will benefit from attending to do so.

3)       Our room block at the Lodge expires at 5PM PDT Tuesday April17 and
the hotel is filling up fast -URLs to make reservations are at the bottom of
this email - this is the only way to get the special rates.

 

Here's a few words about this workshop.

 

It's not a "marketing" event - it's a working session where developers,
Linux distros, chip,switch and storage companies, Tier 1 OEMs, an
integrators, software companies and end-user customers hold a series of
working sessions to get up to date on the status of the latest OFED release,
everyone's experience with OpenFabrics, InfiniBand and Low latency Ethernet
is, what is still needed to be done for the OpenFabrics stack to be core
component of Linux, to be the software of choice for the switch companies
and the OEMs/Integrators and how end user customers can be sure of every
level of support and problem resolution they need.

 

Attached you will find the currently registered attendess, the current list
of people who have reserved rooms at the Lodge and the current agenda with
the sessions and speakers identified.

 

There are lots of anomalies between these lists and here is the analysis of
those anomalies. Please check to see if you are one of them and then fix the
mismatch between registered for workshop, have a hotel room, speaking but
have neither registered nor reserved a room, etc. Please forgive me if you
see your name below but we are trying to ensure everyone who is attending,
speakers included, has registered; that everyone has an hotel reservation
and that all the speakers we are have planned for are planning to be with
us.
