> The third Linux Wireless mini-summit will occur on Tuesday July 22,
> 2008 in Ottawa, just before the Ottawa Linux Symposium. OLS is
> generously supporting Linux mini-summits by providing the room and
> projector (
http://www.linuxsymposium.org/2008/minisummits.php).
> Several vendors are supporting the event by sponsoring their own
> employees to attend, and Canonical and Intel have both helped with
> travel funds for key community participants as well.
>
> Although it is already a bit late, I would like to re-open discussions
> on our agenda for the meeting. Based on current upstream topics and
> those persons whom I expect to be attending, I have cobbled together
> an agenda proposal below. Please review it and feel free to suggest
> amendments or alterations, or to elaborate or ask questions about my
> proposed schedule of topics.
>
> I look forward to seeing many of you in Ottawa!
