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
