[yt-dev] 2nd yt workshop

[Christopher Moody]

Hi everyone,
Sorry to join this conversation late. I've talked about this (very
briefly!) with Joel Primack for HIPACC funding, and he was very supportive
that this we should write up a proposal. He comes back from China next
week, so I can bring it up again then.

Santa Cruz is a bit warmer than Chicago in January...
