itaps-parallel ITAPS bootcamp

[Lori A. Diachin]

Hi All,

After learning that the September timeframe didn't work for many folks, I 
have rescheduled the bootcamp for October 14-16, 2009 (Wed-Friday).  We'll 
focus on Fields on Wed and perhaps part of Thursday and software on 
Thursday and Friday.  We will start at 9 am on Wed and conclude by noon on 
Friday so folks can get home for the weekend.

Ideally we will hold the meeting at Argonne in Chicago - Tim, will this 
work for you?  If not, we'll determine an alternate location - but please 
save the dates.
