[Sotm-asia] Let's re-start discussion about SotM Asia!!

Fri Jun 28 01:15:21 UTC 2013

+1 Saturday

I am very sorry to say that I must travel on Monday.

I am excited about participating in the planning, and I would like to
recommend pushing back until Wednesday or the next Monday.

That said, I would not slow the group down,; I look forward to the next
meeting if I cannot make this one.
