itaps-parallel ITAPS bootcamp

[Mark Miller]

Hi All,

Just following up on this. Do we have a location yet? It looks like a
very coarse schedule is

Wed: Fields
Thu: Fields am, SQE pm
Fri: SQE pm

Would it make sense to maybe refine this agenda a bit? As for the Fields
discussion, is the main purpose just to get our ideas/issues out on the
table and sort of brainstorm?
