Greetings, Normally, we hold the Xen Project Documentation Day on the fourth Monday of the month. However, for the next two months, there are some issues: - Next Monday is the beginning of Thanksgiving week in the US. This is historically a very hard time to accomplish anything (other than shop for the holidays which occur in December), so if we hold Documentation Day on Monday, it is likely to lack any US contribution. - The usual Monday in December is buried in the holiday season and is unlikely to be the center of almost anyone''s attention (including mine) during that time. - Participation in Doc Days overall has been rather muted during the past couple of months. Given these factors, I recommend the following: - We cancel the Doc Days for November and December, restarting in January with renewed vigor. - We express our opinions about the 4th Monday schedule for the new year. Is this working for you? Is there a better day of the week or week of the month which might be more convenient? Please speak up. If at least 3 people reply to this message and say they want the Doc Day to go on as scheduled on Monday, we can definitely accommodate. Or, if there is some demand to move it to early December, we can certainly do that instead. Now is the time to register your opinion. If there is no groundswell of support for another Doc Day this calendar year, we will schedule the next one for January. So what do you all say? Thanks, Russ
