Fred, Bill, Peter, Bob, Jeanne, Chris and others,
Bob and I were just IM'ing a bit out of this thread, and there seems to
be enough of an interest here and enough of a *need *- would people be
interested in as 1 or 2 day conference sometime early this summer? I'm
thinking about a get together which would include a face to face
gathering for those who could make it with others skyped or
teleconferenced in.
Not sure if I have a good sense of a locus of geography for all of us,
but I'm feeling as though taking a day or two out to meet some of you
all in person and brainstorm ideas and begin to really push some of
these ideas forward would be a very valuable use of my time.
Others?
In peace,
*Norman Maynard*
