I know for a fact that the SCO, Solaris, OS/2, and BeOs people have been invited to participate. They have all been asked several times. The SCO and Solaris people have told us that they will be there. I have no idea what happened with the OS/2 people but the BeOs people just can't seem to muster up a few people to show up.
