RE: [cdt-dev] FW: CDT/embedded sessions at EclipseCon
|
Hi Sumit,
Your suggestions are fine by me. TI, Montavista, others -- any comments?
As for setting up a call -- I can do that. I'm assuming we want to have the
others participate as well, so what time would work best for everyone?
Thanks,
Sebastien
