Note sent from address that is not subscribed to the list.
I note that portals meeting at GGF15 drew about 15 people (in a room that could seat 100,000) The portals workshop at SC05 (on the slightly unattractive friday) drew 60 people and its success I believe is motivating that group to continue outside GGF next year with an SC06 workshop. Portals (GCE) is still alive at GGF but it is not perhaps flourishing in the way we would like.
In general we still are not attracting some of the (research) communities that used to be at GGF.
