USA SW Symposium in DC - when?

[Shane Gilchrist O hEorpa]

Charles,

i would suggest a workshop at first - its a good idea.

A few people showed interest for the one in Brussels but a lot more
turned up - its the question of advertising etc. If you sit by the
computer and do nothing, nothing will happen :-)

Val,

perhaps u can set up a workshop at CSD Riverside?
