Hi Ray.

The first week of August conflicts with the IFLA Conference in Berlin on 1-9
August, where Portia is planning to present the VisualCat cataloguing system
with support for Z39.50 - and SRW:

The week of August 18 conflicts with the ECDL Conference on 17-22 August in
Trondheim, but I have not yet decided to attend this conference.

Best regards,
Poul Henrik

How about the week of August 18?

I expect that the later (Autumn) meeting will be in DC, and so, though I'd
like the August meeting in DC,  I'm not pushing too hard for that (though if
we do it after the week of August 18 I can't go anywhere). However, I do
think
it needs to be in the US, if we're going to persuade some of the metasearch
folks to come.

Maybe November.

Well that's what I'm thinking but I could be convinced otherwise. Though I
think it would be real tricky to try to ascertain requirements and get them
into 1.1, without undue delay to 1.1.
