VOQL sessions in Beijing and DAL-VOQL joint sessions

[Pedro Osuna]

Dear all,

I have only received a note from Francois kindly volunteering for the
Metadata presentation. I still miss volunteers for the other two (Region
and UDF). 


As I have to send an agenda, I will do it today with the possible names
I proposed the other day. In case the named people can not make it, we
will update things on-the-fly.


In view of the absence of inputs, we might have to remove one of the
VOQL sessions. We will scope that probably during the first meeting.

Cheers,
P.
