[edit] Day three (November 9)
Theme: Overflow day for discussing any remaining issues not covered on the earlier days. The formal meeting will end at noon (due to some issues with flights out), but we anticipate being able to hold over for informal business if needed.
We will start at 8:30 am US Mountain time, instead of 9 am, to make sure we have enough time.
Items for discussion, overflowing from the other days:
| 8:30am - 9:30am | ISV Requested Interfaces: the memory functions. Also, per Carlos, do we need a better policy for adding requested interfaces? |
| 9:30am - 10:00am | What is the purpose of the sample implementation? Requirements only. |

[edit] Accommodations
The conference will be hosted on the Novell Campus in Provo, Utah, a suburb of Salt Lake City. The meeting room is located in Building B, and you will enter through the Building B Lobby (As a note, the 8 story building is Building H, so you will need to travel to the North West side of the campus to Building B). Attendees arriving via plane will arrive at Salt Lake City International Airport. Via Google, we have driving directions from the airport to Novell's campus.
No special hotel arrangements have been made, but here is a map of hotels near Novell, again via Google. The Fairfield and Hampton Inn are a very short walk from Novell Building B and are recommended for their convenience.
A special note about the Freeway exit. Novell is located off the University Avenue exit (you will be able to see Novell at this time since it is hard to miss). This is to prevent any confusion as there is a University Parkway exit in Orem which you do not want to take but will see first since Orem is North of Provo.
Several dining options are available along University avenue and within the Provo Towne Center mall. Novell also has a cafeteria which serves breakfast (8am-10:30) and lunch (11am-1:30).
