Sure, it may be that if we contact the Balisage people they might be able to help or recommend something. The reason I suggested it, is because it is an incredibly expensive proposition for us non-Americas folks to come over to the Americas unless we are being paid or funded. I though that if perhaps we combined it with the dates around Balisage it perhaps makes it a more acceptable cost for us and hence pushes up attendance and knowledge. Thanks Adam.

I know that not having a fixed date makes it difficult to commit, but please let me know directly (through 'reply' and not 'reply all') if you could be attending if schedules work out. It would also help to know what dates people would prefer, what topics they would like covered, and if they have any presentations for the community. >>> >>> Knowing how many people are planning on attending will help us to plan the size and scope of the gathering. >>> >>> I will consolidate all of the feedback and give the community a summary of the responses. >>> >>> Loren >>> +1 952-460-1675 >>> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ >>> Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval >>> Try the new software tools for yourself.
