[Coin-discuss] HELP! What are you doing with COIN?

[Laszlo Ladanyi]

Hello all,

It seems that the COIN-OR project will be nominated for an IBM internal award.
To win the award we must show that some/all of the following are true: COIN
brought luster for IBM; it has technological innovations, there is a community
that has built around it; it is used in research/real life projects; etc.

So... if you feel that COIN is/will be useful for you and would like to give
back something to those who were pushing it within IBM then email me or Robin
(robinlh at us.ibm.com) any/all of the following (not to pressure you, but we
need this by end of business day on Monday...) :

1) The easiest: a short paragraph about what you are using COIN for (if it's a
commercial product you can't say anything about that's fine, just say that you
are using it in a commercial product). Name the used modules.

2) A bit harder: Just to help to write our own proposal, say a few words on
what if anything is innovative/most useful in COIN. 

3) The hardest (but the best for us :-) : a recommendation letter. I don't
know the format, but the hardy folks who are willing to do this can email
Robin for details.


So at least:  SPEAK UP! What are you doing with COIN?

Thanks,
