It is still only a dream to deliver hard copies, but we should have  
plenty of time for this if we set our deadline to the earlier one.

DEADLINES...
Here are the current deadlines:

  * Article drafts: June 22, 2007
  * Article Submission Ends: July 3, 2007 (~30 days to submit)
  * First Draft: July 22, 2007
  * Final Publication: August 1, 2007 (~30 days from article close)

I just added the "Article drafts: June 22" item - so that we can  
encourage writers to not wait.  You have just over one month to get  
your articles in, but please try to get them earlier.

OPEN POSITIONS...

Any other items, questions or problems from last time that we need to  
discuss?
