Responder Attendance Comments
Bill Mason I won't attend (detail your reasons below) Unable to travel to the meeting at that time.
David Singer I will attend every day Tentative OK
Carol King I won't attend (detail your reasons below) Prior commitment.
Henrik Dvergsdal I won't attend (detail your reasons below) This is too short notice. I'm on vacation at that time.
Serdar Kiliç I won't attend (detail your reasons below) Currently unavailable for international travel due to finances. Should be able to participate via IRC.
Henri Sivonen I won't attend (detail your reasons below) I don't have enough information about the purpose and usefulness of the meeting, and I feel I'm not in a position to ask funding for travel without giving a good reason why I'd be traveling (especially considering that Mozilla has people they can send who are already in Mountain View, CA).
Anne van Kesteren I will attend every day Tentative OK.
Mark Martin I will attend every day Tentative OK. I will be in the Bay area that week.
Maciej Stachowiak Other (details below) I have to check on time availability to see if I can make it.

I think a fruitful way to run this meeting would be in "unconference" style, like Bar Camp. In other words, general meet & greet, and then smaller breakout sessions with presentation or discussion on particular areas of interest.
Karl Dubost I won't attend (detail your reasons below)
Lachlan Hunt I won't attend (detail your reasons below) I am not in the USA and cannot afford to get there.
Laura Carlson I won't attend (detail your reasons below) Self-supporting working group member. Attending meetings is on my own nickel.
Matthew Ratzloff I won't attend (detail your reasons below) Cannot travel
Sean Fraser I won't attend (detail your reasons below) Schedule conflicts that cannot be resolved.
Raphael Champeimont I won't attend (detail your reasons below) I am self-supported and I can't afford to travel at that moment.
Pasquale Popolizio I won't attend (detail your reasons below)
Ian Hickson Other (details below) I can't know if it would be worth attending without an agenda. We had a teleconference a few months ago that was a complete waste of time (at least for me, and for the half-a-dozen or so people who talked to me during and after the meeting). Without very clear indications of why this face-to-face meeting would be a productive use of our time, I couldn't justify attending. For the teleconference we were basically asked to trust that it would be productive, and it wasn't.

I agree with Maciej that an unconference-style meeting, with no agenda, and with breakout sessions where people can present their ideas and have small group discussions, would be useful, if enough people attend.

Incidentally, I take umbrage at Chaals' statement that I can't be bothered to turn up. If I had reason to believe the meeting would be productive, I would be the first to sign up. I think the issue is just that our relative priorities are different (I would put independent research and study above discussing an issue around a table).
Chaals Nevile Other (details below) I am not the primary representative for Opera, and am unlikely to be in the US at that time just by accident, so I am not sure if I would attend in person.

It is quite depressing that the only apparently actve editor feels that discussing issues with the working group is a waste of his time. If a meeting that had no agenda at all would a priori be useful enough for the editors to turn up, then I would also support this proposal (by at least sending someone to the meeting). I am not sure that there should be breakout sessions (especially if there are fewer than a dozen or so people attending) - it risks getting too close to just talking to oneself, but that can be determined on the day.
Arun Ranganathan I will attend every day
Murray Maloney I won't attend (detail your reasons below) Schedule conflict
David Baron Other (details below) Like Ian, I (or maybe someone else from Mozilla) could probably attend if the agenda/plan for the meeting suggested it would be useful.
Olivier Gendrin I won't attend (detail your reasons below) Will be in england (XXI world jamboree, yeah!).
Shawn Medero I won't attend (detail your reasons below) I can not fly out to California during this time frame (prior engagement) and regardless it is probably out of my self-funded budget for participating in the working group. (I live on the east coast of the US.)
Sander Tekelenburg I won't attend (detail your reasons below) Too far.
Gregory Rosmaita I will attend every day my participation in the face2face is predicated upon my medical situation -- i fully intend on attending, but there is a possiblity that it will be an impossibility for me to attend...
Thomas Higginbotham I won't attend (detail your reasons below) Schedule conflicts.
