Hi All,
I am glad to see all the ABQ interest.  I was offline today attending the NM Media Industries Strategy Project Conference.  The conference was impressive; I was surprised by the high number of participants.  The ballroom was full!
 
On the topic of a meeting location, I would like to include the UNM Student Union building.  There were several perfect meeting nooks, in addition wireless network is available.
 
I recommend we plan on meeting  Saturday Morning, February 5th at 10:00AM ( 9:00 is also okay by me ).  Let's try Flying Star on Central.  Does anyone know if Flying Star is busy on Saturday mornings.  
 
At this first meeting we can discuss how to proceed; answer the When, Where, Topics, How often to meet questions.
 
Cathy

   Well, heck, if I'd known you-all were on the list, I'd have asked you
to tell Owen what ABM systems are in use at Sandia.  I can't remember
whether he asked me directly or on the FRIAM list, but some time ago he
enquired about favoured ABM software at Sandia.  I'm afraid I couldn't
tell him much.

   Wow, I didn't realize how many Sandians lurk on the FRIAM list.

   I don't know how many of you saw the traffic on FRIAM, but I'd
appreciate any feedback on good locations for getting together.  Cathy,
Mike Kruchowski of Mission Research, and I seemed to be settling on the
University/Nob Hill area.  If that sounds reasonable, we need to pick on
a particular place or (per Cathy's suggestion) a set of places.  We
mentioned Flying Star (both Nob Hill and Rio Grande), Satellite, R. B.
Winning, and Buster's.

   Do we want to make this a morning meeting or would some other time be
useful?

   Have any of you gone to the Santa Fe FRIAM meetings?  I get the
impression that those are informal but there's usually a discussion
topic.  I think they discuss new and interesting topics related to
complexity research but I don't know whether that is ad-hoc or organized
in any way.  My concern is that we don't just meet to socialize or this
will die even as it starts.  All of us need to get something out of it
beyond a caffeine buzz.
