[SAGA-RG] Face-to-Face Meeting

[Andre Merzky]

Hi again, 

it seems that December 10/11 is the preferred option for the F2F, so
we'll go ahead and plan for that date.

So far we have confirmations from five people to attend.  We'd
appreciate if you could all confirm your attendence by end of
November.

The meeting will be hosted by Zuse Institute Berlin (thanks!).
We'll send the exact details around about a week before the meeting.
To help travel planning: ZIB is about an hour away from Tegel
Airport, about two hours from Schoenefeld Airport, and about 30
minutes from Berlin Downtown.  More details, and proposed
accomodations, are on http://www.zib.de/besucher/index.en.html
Please let us know if you want us to help organize accomocations.

To re-iterate: this will mostly be a DRMAA meeting, dedicated to
make progress on the open DRMAA.v2 issues, but we will use part of
that F2F time to sync with the SAGA approaches which seem to have
covered some part of the problem space targeted by DRMAA.v2.

Cheers, see you soon in Berlin, 

  Andre.
