Honestly, the decision process doesn't take much time, aside from
organizing a time that all 10 people can meet across x timezones (a thing
unto itself). Its the community feedback period, giving people enough time
to secure travel approval from their management, loading the sessions into
the actual schedule app, and other print deadlines that force us to have
everything set this far out.

I will definitely help the ops community in whatever way I can! Do you have
remote attendance set up for the meetup?
