[ogf20pc] Today's telcon

[Geoffrey Fox]

I apologize that ice storm here has made it impossible for me to attend 
telecon

Proposed strategy looks good!
I did communicate with IVOA and they indicated that they could even 
prefer OGF21 to OGF20
I suggested ET-CG switch to group sessions

The community program is aimed at significant mini-workshops rather than 
individual presentations or other 90 minute events that can be done by 
group mechanism. I would prefer a few good "significant" projects be 
chosen rather than many small ones
