[U-Boot] U-Boot mini summit

Hi everybody,
there were some rumours about next U-Boot mini summit and why there is not yet a date. The reason is that we at DENX are thinking about, taking into account that the U-Boot community is steadily increased, which is the best location for the next summit. We know that a lot of you are in US or, generally, outside Europe and maybe it is time to ask everybody where the next summit will take place - and maybe the result will not be in Europe.
Surely, the summit should be part of an Event organized by the Linux Foundation, and taking into account the embedded nature of the bootloader, there are two possible candidates:
- ELCE in Dublin, 5-7 October 2015 - ELC in San Diego, 4-6 April 2016
Wolfgang has prepared a "doodle" survey to collect availability and preferences. Feel free to add your name to the event(s) you would like to participate.

This survey runs until 10, May 2015 - after that we will know where to meet for the U-Boot summit.
Thanks everybody for improving U-Boot !
Best regards, Stefano Babic

I would like to point out that the poll will be ending on Sunday, i. e. within less than a week, and so far we have just 16 votes, or only 9 if we exclude the DENX team.
This cannot be true? Is there really so little interest in a U-Boot developer meeting? In this case we should probably consider not doing such an event at all? Or just a tiny one at DENX ;-)
Not even Tom and the majority of the custodians bothered to vote...
Are you all sleeping? Hey, WAKE UP, this is YOUR event, if you want to have it in a location which you can conveniently reach, then speak up NOW!
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk
