[ this message has been bcc'd to a number of XACML-interested lists, so my apologies if you recieve multiple copies ... please forward to anyone who you think might be interested ] It's been a real pleasure to watch the XACML community grow over the last few years, and it's been just as nice to meet so many new people as a result. Sadly, I haven't met nearly as many of you in person as I would like to have. and I want to remedy this. I'm travelling to California in February, and while I'm there I'm going to setup an evening get-together for folks to meet, chat XACML, etc. The problem is that I don't know how many people are actually there, since many of the people I talk with daily are from all over the world. Sooo, if you're interested, please let me know. This would be some time between the 17th and the end of February, depending on when works best for everyone. If it turns out that no one is around, I'll try again for another time. Note that the RSA conference overlaps with this, and I hope that may draw a few people to the area. Please let me know soon, and I'll get to work on details. seth ps I live in the Boston area, and given enough interest, I'd be happy to setup something for this area too. Let me know if you want in!
