Idris, Thanks for pointing out the pitfalls. We've had it here before. It might be our turn to host it again. I'm sure there won't be any problem hosting 2 conferences in one semester.

I was not aware that there was a discussion for having it located at UNC Chapel Hill . I think that it is a good idea to have both conferences. However I am concerned that there might be a scheduling conflict for having both conferences held in the same semester and the same location and lastly there might be a problem in terms of funding.

While we've hosted it for free before, I also heard (since I missed the Clemson one, having a conflicting meeting) that there's an NSF "template" we might use if we want to try for funding again. There's a critical mass of grads and faculty who will be here in the spring and can help with this. So, if there's no other competition for the spot, should we do it here in Chapel Hill?

While I would be happy to work with others to host the next event in Asheville, I think it might make more sense for the next one to be more centrally located in the Carolinas rather than in the west two years in a row. USC, Davidson, UNCC or the triangle might be better contenders? Even so, I would be glad to help organize the next one whatever the location.

That was not done this year, so we need to decide by email where the meeting will be held next year. As one of the original co-organizers of the meeting I was asked to organize this effort. I'm beginning simply by asking if anyone would care to volunteer to host the meeting. Historically we have met only on a Saturday, all day. This year was the first time that any attempt to obtain outside funding. It seems reasonable to me that whoever organizes next year's should make the decision about how elaborate the meeting will be. So in summary with this message I am asking if anyone cares to volunteer to host the meeting next year. In the event of more than one positive response we can let the two or more who have volunteered discuss it together and inform the rest of us of their decision. A reply to this message should go to the list. A new message to the whole list is sent simply by placing cdynsys@xxxxxxxxxxxxx<mailto:cdynsys@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> in the address line.
