[Swarmfest2006] SwarmFest organization

[Steve Railsback]

-------------------------------------
Bill Rand: How much time do you want for your NetLogo class?

Mike North: Confirm when you want to do your class(es).

Greg M.:
 (a) Is there any problem with 2 or 3 concurrent classes on the 25?
 (b) How much of the class fee can we skim off to pay Paul J.'s travel?

SDG board: Any objection to us paying Paul Johnson's registration if he 
does a Swarm class?
-------------------------------------

Hi all,

It's time to get some SwarmFest stuff underway again. One issue is 
training classes. We have not been overwhelmed by requests for classes 
but I think people will show up for them. And some people are bugging us 
to get these scheduled so they can make travel arrangements.

 a. Repast: Mike North is, I believe, scheduled to do an evening class 
June 21 (SwarmFest starts on the 23rd, but the NAACSOS meeting starts on 
the 22nd).
 If there was demand, a second, longer class on Sunday (25th) is a 
possibility, but so far we don't have a gage of demand (right Mike?).

 b. Swarm: Paul Johnson offered to do a Swarm (Objective-C, I assume) 
class, which we should schedule for Sunday (25th). Paul's offer is 
contingent on us waiving his conference registration fee and letting him 
use as much of the class fee as possible to cover his travel cost.

 c. NetLogo: Bill Rand offered to teach NetLogo. We need to know 
whether he wants to do a short evening class (22nd, to avoid conflict 
with banquet?) or a longer class on Sunday.

After we get these things squared away, we can post a more detailed 
schedule that shows them.
