Scott approached me about this at Viz'99 and I agreed (happily) to sit in as the "vendor representative" of OpenDX, so I'll be there. Do we know who the three users he mentioned are? I bet one will be from NCSC - I helped them with a project for Supercomputing '99 that looked pretty good. Who else will be able to attend? It was originally intended to take place in RTP, North Carolina, so I figured that I'd at least get to meet Suhaib (as well as visit my old haunts in Chapel Hill and get some decent barbeque), but I don't know whether any of the list members are reasonably local or can travel. I guess I'm reasonably local; I'm in Westchester County NY, 90min to 2 hours from Princeton. I'll try to get some of the other IBM DXers to attend as well.
I'm not sure what platforms Scott plans to make available. I have a 233MHz Thinkpad running Linux that I can take; and a 133MHz Thinkpad running Windows. Maybe I can get my hands on a faster Windows machine. Since one of OpenDX's advantages over the competition is that it takes advantage of SMP parallel systems, I hope there'll be one there I can use. I'm also intending to show off some new stuff -certainly the ActiveDX component stuff, maybe I'll have DDX at a presentable level by then. Greg
