2nd REVISED AGENDA -- Re: Linux Wireless Mini-Summit -- Ottawa --July 22, 2008

[John W. Linville]

I adjusted the times based on the schedule for lunch and coffee breaks
from the OLS crew.  I also adjusted the length of some slots, and
move the BoF/Break-Out/BarCamp section before adjourning for dinner.

I'm still looking for more/different topics and for people to
explicitly claim the ones on the list...speak up!
