Hi all, As you may know, we are coming up on the 10th anniversary of
COIN-OR (dating from IBM's original announcement at ISMP 2000). As part
of the celebrations for this milestone (lots of open source projects
don't live through their first year, let alone 10!), we, the COIN-OR
Strategic Leadership Board, are collecting success stories about
COIN-OR. We will be using these stories in prize nominations,
presentations, reports and other anniversary activities. <br>
<br>If COIN-OR has changed your life or made your organization more
successful, can I ask you to spend a few minutes writing a paragraph or
so about your experience and to then send it to me (<a href="mailto:trick@cmu.edu" target="_blank">trick@cmu.edu</a>)? The
more specificity the better, and any external measures of success ("We
won this prize due to COIN-OR") are very much welcome. We particularly
want stories on how COIN-OR is affecting the world outside of operations
research, but very much welcome stories from within the field.<br>
<br>We will be using these throughout the rest of the year, but our
first deadline is in just 10 days. If you have something to offer, can
you spend a few minutes now writing me about it?<br><br>Best wishes,<br><br>Mike<br>
<br>P.S. Any thoughts you have on statistics that show the effect of
COIN-OR or any of its projects would also be very welcome.<br clear="all"><br>-- <br>-----------------------------------------------------------------------<br>Michael Trick <a href="mailto:trick@cmu.edu">trick@cmu.edu</a><br>
