Hi All,
Time is getting short and it would be nice to fill in the agenda. Sorry to make this mass appeal for volunteers - but if you could help - it would make the meeting a lot more interesting (and my life a lot simpler). There is a lot of hard learned lesson out there and a lot of sweat going into some great developments - please put them on the agenda so that the rest of us can benefit! 
Also, if you have interest in any of the training - reply - so that we know if we should have the session.
If you are inclined - volunteer to teach the session too. Thanks!!!!!!
Please reply before you think about it long enough to decide it's not too much trouble. This is a meeting of collaborators, not a conference. We need your participation - and more importantly, we can all benefit from the work that you have all been doing.
You have 7 days to reply. Then I need to start imploring individuals to contribute. Please save me.
Thanks again,
bob
