Hi everyone,<div>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.</div>

We've had a good number of responses so far, all of them "Yes!". If<br>
you're a regular contributor to either the mailing list or the code<br>
base, it would be really beneficial to submit a "Nope" response if you<br>
know you wouldn't be able to attend.<br>
