Steve and Mark:<BR>><BR>> If you are still interested in hosting a
Birds of a Feather session at<BR>> the conference, we will have the
ballroom (where the beer tasting will<BR>> be) beginning at 6:00pm (beer
event starts at 7:30) and can assign a<BR>> table or two off in the
corner for your meeting. We have one other<BR>> hydrography BoF
session during that time (6:45-7:30). We will type up a<BR>>
description and start time to insert into the conference packets.<BR>>
Please let me know, or pass this information on to someone who may
be<BR>> interested in hosting.<BR>><BR>> I know you both had some
different (and good) ideas about incorporating<BR>> these into sessions
or demonstrations - and maybe you have already done<BR>> that (I don't
have all the demo and session information). Let me know<BR>>
what you'd like to do on Thursday night, if anything, and we should
be<BR>> able to accommodate your requests.<BR>><BR>>

Hello Steve and Mark:<BR>>><BR>>> I am working as conference
chair -elect this year for the MN GIS/LIS<BR>>> Conference in October.
We are re-evaluating the schedule, and are<BR>>> wishing
to get some feedback on the Birds of a Feather sessions.<BR>>> Last
year the vendor reception, fun run, silent auction, beer
tasting,<BR>>> and birds of a feather events all fell within quick
succession of one<BR>>> another and there was some overlap. In
order to make sure everyone<BR>>> can attend the sessions they'd like
to, we are trying to determine<BR>>> whether or not we could arrange
these differently.<BR>>><BR>>> A few questions for
you:<BR>>><BR>>> Are you interested in leading a "birds of a
feather" session again at<BR>>> the Fall Conference?<BR>>> How
did the attendance at the session last year compare to previous<BR>>>
years?<BR>>> Do you want to continue the "birds of a feather" meetings
(whether or<BR>>> not you lead it)?<BR>>> What are your comments
about having this at a different time other<BR>>> than Thursday night?
(Thursday or Friday morning at 7:45am, Wednesday<BR>>> evening,
birds of a feather tables at Thursday and/or Friday lunch?)<BR>>>
Another idea is to move these to Thursday at 5:30, as we do not
plan<BR>>> to have the silent auction this year.<BR>>> Or we can
keep it at 7:30 on Thursday night.<BR>>><BR>>> Thanks for your
input! Please let me know if there are others I<BR>>> should
contact, I am new to the MN GIS/LIS Consortium committees.<BR>>> Kind
