I am just coming off of a meeting with Hugh Daniel of the grasshopper group during which a most unusual suggestion was made. Would it not be a wonderful thing if the leading people in NeWS development would come together and share their ideas and philosophies with Sun. A great deal of good could come from such a gathering. Many of us would love to do something like this, but only if it does not fall on deaf ears inside Sun. I would be willing to sponsor a get together at Argonne of not only Sun but Silicon Graphics, and any other HW vendor that is interested in porting OW to their platform. I know of the long drawn out political squabbles inside Sun, but can they be put aside long enough to talk to the people who believe in NeWS? This type of meeting could go a long way in restoring the faith in Sun that many of us feel we have lost. Peter A. Korp Argonne National Laboratory
