Hi
I just received a call from Roland Friestad, the guy who puts together the CNC-Workshop each year. He has had a fairly severe heart attack. Got home from the hospital today and called me. He will try to get the web registration up in the next week and was wondering if we could help with some of the coordination.
He plans to contact the other major players and want's to run the workshop in spite of the lateness of starting up the web site. He and his wife will get the site going and handle the registration. If you are one of those other folk and need to get ahold of him directly, post a note to me here -- rayhswan (at) yahoo.com and I'll get back to you asap with his new cell number.
He'd like us to take the responsibility for all of the EMC side of things. There is the start of a wiki page at
http://wiki.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/emcinfo.pl?EMC_Fest_2008
If you'd update this page with info about when you will arrive and what equipment you'll bring along it would be a big help. Also if there are things that you are specifically interested in, put it in there as well and we'll try to get a class setup for your topics.
There are other activities more directly connected with the workshop that he could use some help with. If someone is willing to assist with the scheduling of presentations I'll get you in contact with him. We could put a preliminary page or two on our wiki for his classrooms and times and then transfer info to him as things come in. If you can take the point on this let me know.
It would probably also help if someone could serve as a focal point for the raffle. Twist arms for contributions and keep track of who gave what so that Roland has the info he needs during the event. Then that person(s) would need to keep all the stuff in one place once at the workshop and set it up.
I'll plan to show up down there Thursday/Friday before and help arrange things. If a couple of you could do the same it would really help us, Roland, and Joe a lot.
Thanks for your kind attention. Contact me if you need to contact Roland directly.
