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

Hi Erik:

After having slept on this, I woke up thinking it is a good idea to
try to make a face-to-face work.

However, I will not be able to attend in person unless the meeting
is in Austin.  So I am interested to hear whether people can attend
a meeting in Austin near the transition from September to October.

Wherever the meeting is held, there should be accommodation of remote
participants, at least through a conference call.  Possibly some
web-based multimedia sharing could be done.

There will need to be a quorum of participants in order to vote on
proposals.  If a quorum of participants cannot be raised, then the
meeting could still serve to accelerate revision and convergence on
proposals.
