> The SC14 BoF deadline is rapidly approaching (deadline: 31 July, 2014).  Long an SC mainstay, the BoF program enables community building and interaction in broad topic areas ranging from hardware and software technologies to education, policy and even research funding initiatives. If you are not already doing so, we encourage you and your team(s) to consider submitting to this years program. We plan to continue this strong SC BoF tradition that you have have helped create.  Again this year, the selection committee will focus on establishing a program comprised of timely and compelling BoF sessions anticipated to solicit significant community interest.

> General Feedback on BoFs:
> 
> Based on your experiences with past SC BoFs, we would look to hear your outlook with an eye toward what we might want to implement differently this year. What are the positive and negative BoF observations you’ve gathered over the years? Too many BoFs; Too few BoFs; Just the right number? Too many concurrent BoFs? Any feedback on the general timing (noon and 5p) and logistics of the BoFs? What do you think about the format and execution of BoFs that you’ve attended? What do you think about the range of topics? In general, we’re looking for feedback on what you think works well and doesn’t work well, things we should consider changing or newly implementing, etc.  Please direct this feedback directly to both Dorian and Kurt at bofs@info.supercomputing.org

> Thanks again for your support of this program and we hope to see you in New Orleans,
