[saga-rg] Fwd (replogle@ggf.org): [gf-chairs] GGF17 Group Session Scheduling is Open!

Hi Group(s), GGF was yesterday, kind of, but here we go planning for the next one already... I would very much like to see our 3 docs submitted as drafts by the March 31st deadline (use cases revised, req. initial, saga-core-api initial). Its difficult to plan for the sessions - anyway, I think the 3 session scheme we had over the last 2 GGFs worked pretty well. So I would propose to continue with that schema. However, we should also keep in mind that our ADs plan a application workshop, which surely will benefit from SAGA participation :-) Cheers, Andre. ----- Forwarded message from Joel Replogle -----
