We haven't had one in the past, but the project is getting bigger so, 
given our need to sync with the TripleO folks anyway, this may be a good 
opportunity to try. Certainly it's unlikely that any Heat developers 
attending will spend the _whole_ week working with the TripleO team, so 
there should be time to do something like what you're suggesting. I 
think we just need to see who is willing & able to attend, and work out 
an agenda on that basis.

For my part, I will certainly be there for the whole week if it's July 
28 - Aug 1. If it's the week before I may not be able to make it at all.

BTW one timing option I haven't seen mentioned is to follow Pycon-AU's 
model of running e.g. Friday-Tuesday (July 25-29). I know nobody wants 
to be stuck in Raleigh, NC on a weekend (I've lived there, I understand 
;), but for folks who have a long ways to travel it's one weekend lost 
instead of two.

cheers,
Zane.
