Re: [Help-glpk] INFORMS and GLPK

[Brady Hunsaker]

Hi Joey,

For the annual meeting, one possibility is to organize one or more 
sessions (preferably with 4 talks each).  If someone were willing to do 
this, then I could help you get in touch with the organizer of the 
open-source track (or computing as a back-up).

Basically, as soon as someone is willing to take responsibility for 
organizing a session (or more than one), then we can get in touch with 
the track organizer to see if they'll reserve a spot.  The actual 
speakers will need to be recruited and submit abstracts by a deadline in 
May (or around then).  To get a session reserved, you probably want to 
make contact by early 2011.

If there is just one or two talks, then we could put you in touch with 
the track organizer to see whether they can help find a home for them in 
other sessions.  That could happen more like March or April, I guess.
