RE: [Help-glpk] INFORMS and GLPK

[Meketon, Marc]

I wonder if a better GLPK venue would be in some conference in Germany, maybe 
Frankfurt.  It is more of the "epicenter" for GLPK, and perhaps Andrew would 
find it easier to get from Moscow to Germany?  It would be a shame to have a 
GLPK session and not have Andrew present.

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.
