X3T9.2/93-091 r0 To: X3T9.2 and X3T9.3 From: Dal Allan Subject: 1994 Calendar The following is a 1994 calendar showing scheduled X3T9.* activities. There are hopes that two weeks of the year will be co-located with the IEEE. October looks like a certainty at this time (FutureBus and Fibre Channel) and July is a strong likelihood (FutureBus Desktop and SCSI/SFF). For that reason, our host in July needs a facility large enough for both groups (the IEEE will arrange its own space in the same hotel). During the odd months, the week will typically consist of: Monday Small Form Factor Committee / SSWGs Tuesday SCSI-3 / ATA / SSA / P1394 / Fibre Channel WGs Wednesday SCSI-3 / ATA / SSA / P1394 / Fibre Channel WGs Thursday SCSI-3 / ATA / SSA / P1394 / Fibre Channel WGs Friday X3T9.2 Plenary Every effort will be made to avoid conflicts between like activities. As we move into the year and settle down into the new structure, the above will be adjusted as necessary. We would like to reach a point where the Plenary could end on Thursday, so that many of us will not have to spend the whole week away from the office. During the even months, the week will typically consist of: Monday Fibre Channel SSWGs Tuesday Fibre Channel WG Wednesday X3T9.3 Plenary Thursday Fibre Channel WG Friday X3T9 Plenary One would like to think that the amount of time spent on Fibre Channel will allow starting on Tuesday. The FDDI activities are not shown, only the events affecting X3T9.2 and X3T9.3. Because X3T9.2 officers still have to travel to the Plenaries, and there will be Fibre Channel activities continuing on a monthly basis, the dates have been selected to provide even spacing throughout the year. IF ANYBODY KNOWS OF CONFLICTS WITH INDUSTRY EVENTS OR OTHER ACTIVITIES WHICH WOULD AFFECT THE MEMBERS BEING ABLE TO ATTEND IN A PARTICULAR WEEK, PLEASE ADVISE ME AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. The only confirmed host for 1994 is Vitro for San Diego in January. The other months have tentative hosts as shown. Emulex and AMP are confident of corporate approval for the March and May respectively. AMP is willing to host in any month the members are willing to go to Pennsylvania (presumably May, July or September). There may be some swapping around of locations depending on hotel availability in the various months. Only the host arrangements for the odd months are shown below because the even months are looked after by X3T9. The dates and locations for even months are provided to complement the odd month information. WE ARE STILL CONSIDERING OFFERS BY OTHER HOSTS. IF YOU WISH TO HOST A MEETING IN 1994, PLEASE ADVISE BY EMAIL WHERE AND IN WHAT MONTH(S).

He has checked, and can host in July at that hotel.
