<br>
<tt>Thanks for getting the dates secured for the MTD session. I'm looking forward to attending it and continuing the communal discussions!</tt><br>
<br>
<tt>I am also excited about the one day GPFS US UG Meeting at SC’15. However the SC’15 schedule is already packed! <a href="http://sc15.supercomputing.org/schedule">http://sc15.supercomputing.org/schedule</a></tt><br>
<br>
<tt>I would like to have the discussion regarding the schedule of this meeting opened up to the mailing list to help ensure that it meets the needs of those planning to attend as much as possible.</tt><br>
<br>
<tt>Scheduling this one day meeting is going to be very difficult, and some issues I foresee are the following:</tt><br>
<tt>1) It will be hard to avoid conflicts with scheduled SC'15 sessions/tutorials/workshops, and also the other user group meetings, such as the DDN User Group and the expected full day Intel session (which I guess will be on the Sunday, Nov 15th?)</tt><br>
<tt>2) Have people already booked their flights and hotels such that attending the meeting on the Saturday before or Saturday after the conference is not feasible?</tt><br>
<tt>2) Will IBM presenters be available on the Saturday before or after?</tt><br>
<tt>3) Is having the full day meeting on the Saturday before or after too much to ask given how long the conference already is?</tt><br>
<tt>3) Would we rather have the GPFS US UG meeting usurp the last day of the conference that is sometimes considered not worth attending?</tt><br>
<tt>4) Do attendees have other obligations to their booths at the show that would prevent them from attending the Saturday before, or the Friday Nov 20th, or possibly Saturday Nov 21st?</tt><br>
<br>
<tt>As for me, I would prefer to have this first SC'15 US UG meeting on the Friday, Nov 20th, starting at roughly 1PM (after lunch) and maybe have it go for 6 hours. Or if we still want/need a full day, then start it at 9AM on Friday.</tt><br>
<br>
<tt>I encourage others to provide their feedback as quickly as possible so that appropriate hotels and other travel arrangements can be made. The conference hotels are all but booked already!</tt><br>
<br>
<tt>Cheers,</tt><br>
<tt>-Bryan</tt><br>

<tt>Subject: [gpfsug-discuss] Inaugural US "Meet the Developers" - Confirmed Date/Location</tt><br>
<br>
<tt>Greetings all. I am very happy to announce that we have a confirmed date and location for our inaugural US "Meet the Developers” session. Details are below.</tt><br>
<br>
<tt>Many thanks to Janet for her efforts in organizing the venue and speakers.</tt><br>
<br>
<tt>Date: Wednesday, October 7th</tt><br>
<tt>Place: IBM building at 590 Madison Avenue, New York City</tt><br>
<tt>Time: 12:30 to 5 PM (Lunch will be served at 12:30, and sessions will start between 1 and 1:30 PM. Afternoon snacks will be served as well</tt><br>
<tt>:-)</tt><br>
<br>
<tt>Agenda</tt><br>
<br>
<tt>IBM development architect to present the new protocols support that was released with Spectrum Scale 4.1.1 in June.</tt><br>
<tt>IBM developer to demo future Graphical User Interface Member of user community to present an experience with using Spectrum Scale (still seeking volunteers for this!) Open Q&A with the development team</tt><br>
<br>
<tt>We have heard from many of you so far who would like to attend, which is great! However, we still have plenty of room, so if you would like to attend please just e-mail Janet Ellsworth (<a href="mailto:janetell@us.ibm.com">janetell@us.ibm.com</a>). Janet
is on the product management team for Spectrum Scale and is helping with the logistics for this first event.</tt><br>
<br>
<tt>We also need someone to share an experience or use case scenario with Spectrum Scale for this event, so please let Janet know if you are willing to do that too.</tt><br>
<br>
<tt>As mentioned before, there are ongoing discussions regarding a day-long GPFS US UG event in Austin during November aligned with SC15. We will keep you posted on this and also welcome thoughts you may have planning that agenda.</tt><br>
<br>
<tt>Best,</tt><br>
<tt>Kristy</tt><br>
<tt>GPFS UG - USA Principal</tt><br>
