[Project-managers] any interest in being involved in a COIN-OR workshop at the INFORMS annual meeting this October?

[Robin Lougee-Heimer]

Project Managers:

Looking for an opportunity to grow the user-base & development community 
around your project? 

At the INFORMS annual meeting, three-hour workshops are offered by 
software companies (e.g. in 2007, 
http://meetings.informs.org/Seattle07/vendor.html). 
The extended format makes it possible to do things like.... 
   - "installfests" where participants can download your project s/w on to 
their own machine 
   - "hands-on" activities where people bringing computers can get their 
toes wet
   -  tutorials where would-be users & developers can get a gentle (or 
advance) intro to your project 
   - working sessions, where extended discussions on design details can be 
held face-to-face
   - etc.

Do you have any level of interest in getting involved in a workshop at the 
upcoming annual meeting in DC ( http://meetings.informs.org/DC08/ )? Send 
me a note by March 1, 2008, and we'll take it from there. 

Feel in this instance it's better to "receive" than to "give?"  Tell me 
what kinda workshop you'd attend  (e.g. BuildTools-101?).  Feedback 
welcome.
