[sv-ac] Proposal: 2-day "Mantis Marathon" face-to-face

 

Hi all--

Dmitry & I were chatting, and we are both worried about getting all the
current proposals into the standard in our time frame, given the long
SVAC-Champions-SVAC revision loop, the upcoming Jewish holidays
affecting various committee members, and the fact that we barely get
through half our agenda in most meetings.

One idea used by some of the other committees has been to hold a 2-day
face-to-face session.  We would all be sitting in a single conference
room, looking at the same proposals on the screen, and we could try to
complete edits & approve by voice vote as many items as possible.

Dmitry is willing to travel all the way from Israel for this, so the
rest of us wimps have no excuse for refusing!

Ideally, it would be best if this happens before the 10/4 IEEE meeting.
But it probably needs to happen after the holidays.   Some possible
dates Dmitry & I have discussed are 9/26-9/27, or 10/2-10/3.
Location-wise, I was thinking the Bay area (Santa Clara/San Jose) might
be easiest for a bunch of us to get to, though I don't have a good sense
of our geo distribution.

John, does this sound doable?  What do the rest of you think?
