hey IMC people,
sascha sent me your contact info, (see below)  i am in urbana as i write
and i'll be here through friday night then i'll be back on monday night
through friday of next week.

i am working the following evenings 16,17,19 and 24,25,26 from 6 -9.  this
week i'll be doing a few things with SDAS during the days.
i know that this has turned into somewhat of short notice for staging an
event though we could look at it as a chance to introduce some of these
things to each other and plann for something in the coming month or so.

hope to hear from you
with pleasure in the struggle
christian hansen
