ARRRRRRGGH!

Once again I am screwed by the "Let's have BOFs on the Tutorial days", gang ...

To anyone that will listen, a small plea:

	Please try not to schedule BOFs on Tutorial days!!!

Notice how there are no BOFs on Thursday from 6-8.  I can guess that's
probably the Reception hours (-: ... but people could leave early or elect to
attend a BOF instead.  Who needs food?  (-:  (He said, looking down at his own
convex waistline ... (-: )

I guess the BOFs are a victim of their own success, but please try to remember
that not everyone shows up for the Tutorials, for many reasons.  This is the
3rd conference in a row that has held BOFs on the night before the Technical
program begins, also not coincidentally the night before I first arrive for
the main conference itself.  (At LISA I missed the Sun-Managers BOF for this
very reason)  Not everyone can afford to leave a day early and spend an extra
night just to make it there by 6 PM the day before the Technical Program
starts ...

Thanks for listening,
