Folks,

I spoke out of turn on some of the above suposition, and I would
like to appologise.  I should not have spoken on what Autodesk may
or may not be intending to do.  I will leave it to them to announce
that when they have settled it.

Nevertheless, I do believe a meeting is planned in Phoenix,
even if we end up having to have it in a bar, and I hope a
few additional interested folks will be able to participate.

Best regards,
