I would like to be involved if possible as well. We are currently implementing PGP and I was curious to know what everyone else was working with.

I will be sending an invitation to the telecon with dial in information to all those whom have expressed interest in the call shortly. Thanks, and I look forward to the call.

I will be setting up a conference call for Wednesday at 11:00AM ET. Is that too soon, or can everyone make it at that time? Let me know what you think, as I can schedule at a later date, if necessary. Once I receive responses on interest level, I will send out an invite with the dial in number.
Looking at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_U.S._states_by_time_zone, I assume ET is UTC -5, so that'll be 4AM Thursday morning here in Queensland, Australia - will there be a summary of the discussion?
I am looking forward to this conversation, it will be interesting to share the information obtained.
Me too! :)
