I like the idea of a symposium, I'll bet that colleges would be willing to
host it. In Illinios, we could host it at UIUC (Urbana), ISU (Normal), or
U of C (Chicago). Maybe we should set a number of these up. I would
personally like to meet the GIMPSers in the midwest.
I guess the biggest problem would be coming up with the papers. I don't
mean to offend anyone, but I doubt that many of us are involved enough
(or know enough) to write papers, and such. I suppose those of us with
more interesting computational setups could tell about them, or something.
Those of you with ideas for an Illinios/midwest meeting, write me privately.
Or we could have monthly meetings in coffee shops like 2600 does...
That'd be keen.
