Monday Morning

Here we are...Conference has started and we have about 120 attendees in the main room. I'm sitting next to Markus who is still feverishly adding data to the Portal. After talking to him last night, it quickly became apparent just how underappreciated he and the good folks at Sybit are. Without their hard work, what you and I get to do on the Portal would NOT be possible. So, all of us need to really understand that this effort is mostly volunteer and underwritten.

Marco 2008 Meet & Greet

So. Here we are in Marco. Made it through all the flights, got a run in, talked to a few folks I haven't seen for a year, drank a few beers and now it's time for the Meet & Greet.

Met & Greet

Mother Nature didn't cooperate with us. We had to move from the roof to a ballroom. In the end, it all worked out. It was a little humid outside anyway.. 

Teaser for the CWG Sandbox

Hello everyone,

my name is Daniel and let me do a quick introduction for you folks who are CWG members but have not been to any of the CWG conferences yet. I have been part of the tightly-knit CWG community for what feels like a lifetime (have not missed a conference since 2001) and over the years have been having fun organizing what used to be the Advanced modeling workgroup, building the original CWG portal, leading the board of directors and let's not forget fishing with Robert on "his island" every fall :)

Are You Ready for Marco?

Well, here we are. Just a couple of days until we get into the big birds and fly away to sunny Florida. Some of us will be there earlier than others, primarily looking for that elusive big one that doesn't get away. Others will show up at the last second Monday morning.

If you don't attend, how will you keep up on the proceedings? It's kind of hard isn't it? Well, since I'm privileged to be going, I'm going to try and keep you up to date. How? Why right here of course...
