Dear all, Sorry for so many GLIMS Updates. Honestly, the traffic will resume a quieter pace soon. Besides the New Zealand major workshop in Feb. 2006 (don't forget abstract and registration, due date in 4 weeks!), we are planning at least two additional meeting venues: 1. GLIMS miniworkshop in association with Fall AGU in San Francisco. This would be about a 3-4-hour evening session with pizza, beer, and soft drinks, date to be announced. The GLIMS book will be a major point of discussion, as will--I hope-- the GLACE II round-robin experiment. My questions: (1) your suggestion of specific venue (we need a room where we can eat pizza and drink beer and do powerpoint presentations). (2) Likelihood of your attendance. (3) Do you want to make a few-minute presentation, or raise a major issue for detailed discussion? (But let's not just rehash Fall AGU talks). (4) Do you have suggested dates or no-go evenings just before or during the AGU week? 2. GLIMS "major?" workshop associated with a IGS Symposium in Cambridge in August 2006. Probably 2 days. Looking for a local sponsor (little or no cost, just effort); and looking for an indication of interest from GLIMS and non-GLIMS people. Do people have preferred dates, probably before or following the IGS meeting. I would like this meeting to include a major science and a major technology component, as other major GLIMS workshops have. We have done very well, increasingly well, with hands-on tech demos/training and work exercises, and we ought to continue this tradition. --Jeff Kargel
