Yes - well, week of - not sure if you want to do it on a Sunday. Btw - why did we move the workshop to only two days? There is no way we can cover both the various discussions and cover technical level enough material in two days.

Hi folks, right now the facilities at IBM's Almaden site are available the week of Nov 7th but unavailable on the other dates we have discussed. I will be checking later today with the IBM briefing center in San Jose, which is also a good facility to see what dates are open at that facility. Thanks, Mike

From a timing point of view 2 days seems short unless we're scoping down the agenda.

We can do 3, not an issue with that. Question is should we do tues / wed / thurs, does that work for Israeli travel. Or we do Tues, Wed, and half day thurs, so people can travel? Carl.
