(j3.2006) (SC22WG5.5503) Reunion

[Bill Long]

The next unscheduled WG5 meeting is in 2018.  

The most recent email I have on a potential 2018 reunion proposal was:

It at some time there is an opening in the meeting schedule and sufficient interest, I volunteer to host a meeting in the San Francisco Bay Area.  I would of course try to recruit Bob Corbett to co-host with me.  I get steep discounts on a nice meeting venue in downtown Oakland (https://oakland.impacthub.net/event-space-san-francisco-bay-area/), where hotels are less expensive than San Francisco, but San Francisco is only a 20-minute subway ride away.

================

Interestingly, the current edition of CS&E is on ?NERSC: 40 Years and Counting?.  A tour of NERSC would be a good ?hook? for a reunion meeting. I suspect a lot of the ex-members have some connection to NERSC.  It will still be there in 2018.

Cheers,
Bill

==================

And reply from Damian:


I?m sure a NERSC tour can be arranged.  Alessandro and I toured NERSC just last month.  And 2018 works for me. :)
