tpn+@ANDREW.CMU.EDU (Tom Neuendorffer) (01/12/90)
The ITC is planning to sponsor an Andrew Toolkit user-group meeting
sometime this Spring. The purpose of this post is to get some
indication of how many people might be interested in attending so we can
plan accordingly.
This gathering will consist of informal presentations by interested
developers, some general discussions of where ATK has been and where it
is going, and the opportunity for ATK enthusiasts to swap stories and
interact.
From the ITC's perspective, this meeting should provide some important
feedback on its past work and polices. Specifically, we hope to learn
who is using our system, what they have found it useful for, why they
have found it useful, and what problems they are having; all of which
will be important data as we consider the future of ATK. We also hope to
meet like-minded researchers and learn of externally generated Atk based
projects.
If you think you might like to attend this meeting, please send me mail
indicating your interest. E-mail is preferable, but responses via Fax or
US Mail are also welcome. Just a note saying "I am interested" will be
fine, though you are invited to provide some additional input along the
following lines:
1. What you would like the meeting to cover.
a. What are you interested in hearing from the ITC.
b. What you are interested in hearing from other developers.
2. If you have any ATK related work that you would like to present.
If so, please include a brief summary.
Possible subjects include, but are not limited to:
ATK based applications and insets
Adew
Ness
Ams
Oda
ATK experiences w/
Porting
Developing
Supporting
Future work
Printing models
Color models
Video

If you know of any colleagues that might be interested, but don't
receive this newsgroup, please forward this mail to them. A summary of
responses, a more formal call for presenters, and further information on
the meeting itself will be posted here as they become available.
