Re: [Op-torch-general] TORCH at Fall AMIA Event

[John-Paul M. <me...@ma...>]

Michael-
   I am not sure how I was chosen.  I subscribe to the AMIA open source 
working group list (os-wg).  There was a call for volunteers, and I 
spoke up.  I was then assigned to TORCH because I know a bit about it.
    I currently have TORCH2 installed on my laptop (OS X.)  I  am not 
sure of the version, but it is a year old:

That is from the front page.  I will need to install a new version of 
Zope (if advisable) and then the updated TORCH2.

This will be at the Fall Symposium.  I am not sure when exactly it will 
occur.  Other participants are:
Peter J. Murray
Ignacio Valdez
Guther Schadow
Pat Evans

I would like to talk sometime.  Where are you physically located?
