Re: [Openbts-announce] [Openbts-discuss] OpenBTS Workshop - semi-urgent

[Harvind S. <hs...@ke...>]

Hi all,

With regard to the OpenBTS workshop, we have had several people register
for the workshop.

There are also several people who have indicated over the last 2 months
or so that they WILL attend and register for the workshop, provided that
the workshop is confirmed and actually takes place.   

The old chicken-and-egg problem. :)

For those folks who WILL attend if we confirm the workshop, please send
an email to hs...@ke... as soon as possible.  Only do this if
you are certain you will attend upon our confirmation.  If you have
already indicated to me or David Burgess that you will attend, please
send me an email again. 

Once the number of registered attendees plus waiting-for-confirmation
attendees reaches a sufficient level, we will confirm the workshop.

Thank you,

Harvind Samra
