I'm actually getting excited about this because the results of tonights
brain storms was very very good and Dovid has made an excellent preliminary
call for papers document. I need a panel to accept papers and review them and
I'm hoping that Rick Moen, RMS, Ron Guerini, Brian Seitz and Paul Marino
can make up this panel.
This is the preliminary CFP. Please comment:
