should be on this list. Graeme, Burnie, Jeff et al. will be working with you
all closely over the next two months to ensure your labs and workshops and the
logistics, computers etc. are all ‘perfect’ in time for the
conference. We are going to announce to all registrants tomorrow (Tues 22<sup>nd</sup>)
that they can choose their workshops – via the wiki, then in a week’s
time we will broadcast the announcement publicly. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
