RE: SNIA-IPSFORUM: IP Storage Forum Plugfest, Call for Participat ion

["Zamer, Ahmad" <ahmad.zamer@intel.com>]

Hi,

I recognize the overwhelming view that opening the plug fest to all is a
good idea and hereby reverse my previous position 180 degrees to be exact.
If so many people feel that an open event is good for all, then it better
be.

Even I can see the light.

I look forward to a successful plug fest next month.

The UNH site for the event:

	http://www.iol.unh.edu/consortiums/iscsi/jul01gtp.html

dropped wording on requiring membership to any org as prerequisite for
attendance.

I assume this is what David was referring to regardless of the mail
that was forwarded.

Long live open protocols:-)
