I'd be up for moving the meeting to an earlier time so we are done at
12. Or, if everybody wants to, continue it during or after the Hacker
Bike Ride, as I'd really love to go there to stretch from the week-long
conference ;-)

It should be.

I'm still wondering what to do about lack of interest. Right now, we are
_still_ trying to standarize hot air. I think we made a bad approach
here, and the "Future plans" summarizes the problem.

I'd say that we first need to have code (of course with the intent to
make it a standard), and then try to get people to agree with us on it.

I'll put it even more strongly: Personally, I'm fed up with spending
time discussing standards which very few people outside the Linux HA
project have shown very limitted interest in. Time which would be better
used to actually implement them.

I think we should try to learn from IEEE - show two implementations
before we consider talking to you about a standard.

We should adopt that too.


Sincerely,
