Subject: RE: initial plans Resent-Date: Sat, 12 Feb 2000 10:54:05 -0500 Resent-From: Geoffrey Fox Resent-To: p_gcf@npac.syr.edu Date: Mon, 31 Jan 2000 14:28:04 -0600 From: "West, John E WES" To: Dennis Duke , Geoffrey Fox CC: "Turcotte, Louis WES" , "Jones, Steve S WES" dennis, steve and i have looked over the proposal. just a couple minor thoughts. 1) dates look good; like the mix of industry and agencies - could maybe use the sc industry advisory panel to advertise more to industry, and i have a reasonable contact at sun. 2) like the idea of a tutorial, if we can get a good instructor 3) like the idea of a tech demo. perhaps could be viewed as a sub for the wed night panel (since a workshop is kind of a long panel, and full bellies don't always mix with evening panels) 4) in general i think maybe we should not include escape in the title of the workshop, and should soften the connection between escape and the workshop a little. the most i would suggest is a reference to escape along with other similar conferences and events to highlight an industry trend. hope this helps, john and steve John E.
