Nic, We should definitely make sure this happens. It's not too soon to start planning. The official deadline for GGF-17 workshops should be a week after GGF-16. Did you want to structure it just as a set of watercooler talks, or did you want to try to get peer-reviewed talks with a proceedings? --Craig At 03:05 PM 12/12/2005, Satoshi Matsuoka wrote:

Hi Nic,

Thanks. Am forwarding to the communicy council so that it can be discussede ASAP. The GGF17 program is yet to be formulated, but make sure it is on the radar.

GGF17 should be a pretty gigantic event being coupled with GridWorld Tokyo.
