ABJ30 Members and Friends,
OH DEAR - "my bad" - while it seems like we are still in the depth of winter (7
inches of snow predicted for tomorrow), it really is March 31, 2011 and I neglected to
check the calendar when I prepared our Summer Meeting agenda and forgot the our workshop
information needs to be submitted to Tom Palmerlee by June 1st!!!! So --- I will be
reaching out to all of you via listserv/email to do our workshop planning and we will take
the opportunity to get a progress report from any of the ideas that "bloom" into
real workshops for the Annual Meeting. Also, I have concerns about the length of our
meeting and our opportunity to have intensive discussions with other committees on-site,
so we will look for breakout sessions to "mix and match". I also would like to
develop Vladimir's contribution regarding the establishment of a new focus: Urban
Data Integration (UDI) - this area has two components - spatial integration and temporal
integration. UDI will need an architecture/framework and promises to be a large
undertaking with many benefits and opportunities for working with other committees on
future workshops, conferences, etc. Again, sorry for the confusion in the agenda - hope
to see (or hear) from all of you on June 8th!!!! AND - hope to work with many of you on
workshop ideas prior to June 1st - and hope to see Spring one of these days!!!
Regards,
Kate
