I don't recall seeing any plans for a meeting get finalized.  Now that
the agenda is out (http://www.ncsa.uiuc.edu/SDG/IT94/New.html), perhaps
we can try to schedule something.  I agree with Yuri and Stu that it should
be a closely held meeting.

Scheduling will be tricky.  All it takes is Yuri, TimBL, Stu and myself
to eliminate most of the week as viable options.

Monday - Tutorials all day.  I had not planned to be in Chicago that day.

People busy, by day:

Tuesday
        Session 1 - Stu
        Session 2 - Yuri
        Session 3 - Stu

Wednesday
        Session 1 - Yuri
        Session 2 - (none)
        Session 3 - Yuri, TimBL

Thursday
        Session 1 - Eric, TimBL
        Session 2 - TimBL
        Session 3 - Eric
        Session 4 - Eric

The above chart is probably not complete.  Furthermore, the meeting will
obviously consist of more people than the 4 above.  (Heck, someone might
even want to *attend* a session or two! :-)

So, the point is that we probably have four quasi-options:

1.  Wednesday, session 2 (2:15 - 3:45)
2.  Monday, during the tutorials
3.  Some evening
        Monday evening is the reception
        Tuesday is the banquet
        Wednesday is BOFs
4.  Squeeze a meeting into the agenda
        The agenda doesn't appear to have any events listed for
        8-10, or 12-2 on Tuesday or Wednesday.

1 and 4 are probably unrealistic.  It looks to me like it's either
Wednesday evening, or Monday during the tutorials.

Opinions?
