 Hi Per, 
we are delighted with hosting this meeting! ;-) 
  
I'm just back from a business trip and I'm having a lot of problems with my 
computer, so excuse me if my reactions are a bit slow these days. 
  
Sure I need help with the agenda, in fact I guess it is better any of you 
leading the projects let me know what sessions you need and I will take care of 
the schedule and so on. So, can you please start a draft agenda? 
  
Regarding travelling and accomodation, I will send you complete details 
tomorrow. Nevertheless for those needing a quick answer: Bilbao has an 
international airport with direct flights from main european cities (code BIO), 
ESI is very close to the airport and best option is a taxi ride (aprox 12 to 
14€). Tomorrow I will send info on the hotels. If you need any special info, 
please let me know it. 
  
Best regards, 
Asier.

  6&7
 
   Hi, 
  
  more people could do March 6 & 7 than 
  any other date, so let's do it then. Asier / ESI, thank you again for your 
  generous offer to host! 
  I suggest 
  that everybody sends a note to Asier, cc:ing me regarding whether you intend 
  to come, and how many people he should expect from each company. This allows 
  Asier to book a conf room of the right size. I will post a note on the 
  newsgroup to further advertise the meeting. 
  Please send Asier and me a note if you want to help 
  shape the agenda. Also, if you have specific suggestions for agenda items, 
  please let us know. I will work with Asier on producing a first draft agenda 
  for circulation next week, including travel info. 
  My list of tentative attendees / my guess (you still 
  need to confirm, even if below info happen to be correct): 
  
    - SEI, 3-5 people 
    
 - Capgemini, 2-3 people 
    
 - IBM, 2-3 people 
    
 - 2-pro mentor, 1 person 
    
 - Catalysts, 1 person 
    
 - Methodpark, 2 people 
    
 - Ana Valente (not sure what company name), 1 
    person on March 7 
    
 - Telelogic,1 person 
    
 - Softeam, 1 person on March 
  6
  TOTAL: 12-18 people 
  
  Also, we should expect more to join once 
  we have announced the meeting at the newsgroup. 
  Thanks

  Hi Per,    
   Our offer still stands as long as we 
  can secure the dates as soon as possible. I have just checked and we still 
  have rooms availability, but I don't know for how long, and the provided date 
  range (Feb 27 - March 17) is too broad for me to block the resources. I could 
  do this if it would be a couple of options (two or three blocks of two days), 
  but I cannot block them for three weeks without a good reason. 
   So, once decided it will be at ESI, we 
  need to decide on dates, or at least a couple of options, ASAP. 
      Regarding our attendance, we keep our numbers (3-5) and from what I can 
  see right now we have full availability except for March 1st.     Please, keep me 
  updated on dates constraints so I can try to pre-block some dates. 
      Best 
  regards, 
  Asier Azaceta mailto:asier.azaceta@xxxxxx

  Bilbao Importance: High
 
  Hi, 
  we have now decided that we would like to have the 
  committer meering in Bilbao. Asier / ESI, thank you very much for your 
  generous offer to host the meeting. I hope your offer still stands even if we 
  need to move the date. 
  It seemed to be impossible to get enough people to warrant a 
  meeting in Feb, so I think we should target 2 days during Feb 27 - March 17. 
  
  1) Note that 
  we plan to have a committer meeting in California week of March 20 (still 
  tentative), so pls also confirm that you find it to be useful to have a 
  European meeting even if it is so close to the European meeting. My assumption 
  is that several of you would not attend a meeting in California (and if you 
  want to attend both, great). 
  2) I would like to close on a date as soon as 
  possible, .You on this distribution list have expressed interest, so we need 
  to decide on a meeting date between us, and then we provide an open invitation 
  for everybody else once we have determined the dates. Can each person please 
  specify dates they can do it in March, Update the info I have if 
  necessary. 
  
    - ESI: 3-5 people attending. 
    
 - IBM: 2-3 people attending (Bruce MacIsaac, 
    Per Kroll, ?). - Any date 
    
 - Catalysts (Christoph Steindl): March 2-3, 6-7, 9-10, 15-16 are fine 
    
 - 2-Pro Mentor (Sigurd Hopen): 
    
 - Telelogic (?): 
    
 - Softeam (Philippe Desfray): Feb 27, 28 and March 6, 8 <what about later in March?> 
    
 - Method Park (Winfried 
  Stenzel)
   We will optimize 
  agenda to maximize value to the attendees, so once we know who will attend, we 
  will finalize it. Expect a strong focus on working session, not just 
  presentations and learning. 
  Thanks
