We are still looking for speakers to talk about their experiences with  
Condor. Interested? Let us know! You can email Alain Roy <roy@xxxxxxxxxxx 
> and Miron Livny <miron@xxxxxxxxxxx> if you are interested in  
speaking.

===== More Information =====
More information will be on the following web page, as it becomes  
available.

===== Consultations =====
We're going to try something new this year, to give people a chance to  
get direct help from a member of the Condor Team.

If you have a question or problem with Condor, and you would like to  
speak with someone from 30-60 minutes about it, contact Alain Roy and  
Greg Thain. Let us know what your question is in advance of Paradyn/ 
Condor Week, and we will find an appropriate person on staff that can  
answer your question during the conference. We will set up a short  
meeting for you to talk to that person, and get all the details you  
might hope for. We may be able to provide limited hands-on debugging  
if you are able to access your Condor pool remotely.

We realize that problems you have now may need to be solved before  
Condor Week, but keep this in mind as the date approaches. We often
find one-on-one interaction to be a great way to solve involved  
problems.

Contacts for consultations:
Alain Roy <roy@xxxxxxxxxxx>
Greg Thain <gthain@xxxxxxxxxxx>

===== Tutorials =====
We are considering adding some advanced tutorials, perhaps hands-on  
tutorials. We've got some ideas already, but if you have any ideas for
tutorials you would benefit from, do let us know.

===== First Annual NMI Build and Test Workshop =====
In conjunction with Condor Week, we will hold the first annual NMI  
Build and Test Workshop on Tuesday, April 29th. The workshop will  
consist of a dedicated track of tutorials and talks by users and  
developers on automating software build and test processes, as well as  
information about the Metronome software and the NMI build and  
testfacility at UW-MAdison, and discussion about the build and test  
needs of NSF projects and collaborators in general.

Thanks!
Alain Roy
