Re: f2f meeting

Hi Eric, several points:

LOGISTICS
- Do we absolutely, positively have a room at the Hilton?  Pl. send details.
- The lack of internet access is, to me, no biggie.  In fact, I think 
meetings are more productive without folks
checking their mail and IMing their stockbrokers
- Bring a sheet for the screen :-)
- Re. Redwood Shores.  If you are flying into SFO Saturday, take a taxi 
South and stay close to Redwood Shores.
It's cheaper than staying in San Francisco.  On Sunday, after we are 
done, take a taxi to BART and head North.
I'll buy coffee and bagels :-)

AGENDA
My top priority is to try and make progress to R2RML at the f2f.
So, both teams should be prepared to present their approaches.
Please send out material in advance in case we have internet/projector 
problems.

All the best, Ashok
