My apologies for Thursday

Dear coleague,

First, a happy new year to you!

Unfortunately, Thursday's telcon coincides exactly with another telcon 
by the UK e-Science All Hands Meeting Foundation. I joined this 
foundation last year. These telcons are less frequent, so I decided to 
join that. The foundation organises the annual UK e-Science All Hands 
Meeting, next one in December.

Speaking of this AHM telcon, if you have suggestions for the All Hands 
Meeting, I would be pleased to bring them forward at the meeting. Apart 
from the planning of the upcoming meetings (December 2009, September 
2010), funding/sponsorship, evolution of the role and format of AHM, and 
industry engagement are on the agenda.

Some more background:
The AHM has a distinguishing focus on providing an opportunity for 
practitioners and developers of e-Science to meet and talk, apart from 
traditional presentations and demonstrations. As far as I know, it was 
originally born out of the large UK e-Science initiative a couple of 
years ago. The meeting is also very international. I have been asked to 
join the foundation to help increase the cross-disciplinary character of 
the meeting and its international outreach.

Again, my apologies and thanks for suggestions,
Marco.
