- No (recent) word back from Forest Mars re. AegirCamp I had a long phone conversation with Forest, and the new Nyccamp.org site is online and Aegir Summit is listed again and assigned a date I assume this means its ON... its not the Aegir Camp as requested, but whatever, its in the schedule. Forest offered me accomodation this year, but I dont have income to fly. I suggest if we do it this year we should really focus on business models and developing and growing the ecosystem. I would also suggest a sprint to work on Aegir containerization CODE http://nyccamp.org/summit/aegir-summit old summit http://2015.nyccamp.org/summit/aegir-summit
- Positive response from DrupalGovCon re. training. Expecting follow-up from their training coordinator. We should follow-up.
