[Mpi-forum] Meeting schedule for 2013

[Richard Graham]

This was discussed and there was another vote at the meeting in Vienna.  This note is just a follow up to the discussions at that meeting.

Hi Rich,

I have the same recollection as Bronis and Mohamad. I thought there was a strong majority (at least at the Chicago meeting) for a 3-1 solution with alternating non-US locations (one year Asia, one year Europe, but not both in one year - as it also shows on the current tentative meeting calendar for next year). I know this is not fair to everyone, but the group (again, at least in Chicago, which was pretty complete, though, since we were wrapping up 3.0) felt that this would maximize active participation.
