SubjectRe: IO controller Mini-Summit 2009
From
Hi all,

I'm planning to use the skype group chat for the IO mini-summit.
Although I haven't used it ever, but If it works well, I think it
would be helpful for the discussion. I'll post my skype account on
the IO mini-summit web soon.
https://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/ioband/wiki/iosummit

Thanks,
Ryo Tsuruta
