Great to hear - this might be my first OpenACS meetup (after 9 years working with ACS and OpenACS!).

Should this be posted in the News section?

Hi Dario,

following Brian suggestion for dissemination, why don't you send also a CFP to mailing lists on these topics?

Are the topics going to be focused solemnly on Learning (.LRN) related issues or are you opening this to other OpenACS based solutions and their topics of interest?
Is OpenACS meeting as well, so any OpenACS related solution is good place to be.

The is an airline pilot's strike planned for November 14-17 affecting Air France. Details can be found at http://www.airfrance.us. Click on the red link at the top of the page ("National Pilots' Strike from November 14th to 17th") for details.

I'll start an informal count of people affected if that will help:

I am one of 2 people who are bringing posters that happen to be booked through Air France on the 16th.
