Following last week's non-virtualized connect, I wanted to restart this
thread.  Regarding the next Linaro connect, I've heard 2 options in the air:
1. virtual connect - see issues already discussed in this thread
2. smaller team sprints - save on the big event costs
Of the two options, #2 seems to be a much better choice but has the obvious
downside of having no cross-team collaboration.  In particular, if we go
this route, we also need to consider the larger, cross-team efforts such as
the various big.little projects going on.

Has there been any decision on what the format will be for the next connect?

Thanks,
Paul Larson
