It is not a "position" paper. There is too much SCSI
Architecture Model (SAM) in it. But from linux-scsi point of view
I guess it is.

Ok, so this is targeted at the same 20-25 Linux people who attended
the "Vancouver Storage summit" and you're just using FAST to co-locate.
I incorrectly assumed that this was targeted at storage professionals
not necessarily Linux related, but with Linux exposure so as to hear
new ideas and pathways. I also missed to see the "by-invitation" clause
at the top.
Thanks for the explanation!
