ZFS development strategy

[Tushar Tambay]

Hi all,

I haven't got everyones skype ids yet and I do not have a conf call #
that has a toll free dial-in from poland and india.

So first question - does anyone have a conf call number we can use ?

If not, just as a backup, can you folks send out you skype ids please ?
