Hi Deborah, Michelle, Everyone, (01)
Sorry I didn't get back to this sooner, but as Michelle knows, we had
a ton of work getting ready for Wednesday's
presentation-demonstration to the DM OPEN SIG from the NIST workshop.
It went very well, but fatigue caught up with me. I should be back in
the saddle over the weekend, and I will review all the developments
and get back to work. I think the last two weeks were excellent, and
the challenge now is to convert the discussions and new connections
into further action. Chuck McLean and Guillaume Radde from the NIST
Manufacturing Modeling Simulation group will be in town for the
October 23rd Silver Sentinel exercise and I will be meeting with
Chuck after next week's IRSC meeting. I will send an invitation to
the BSP list for that meeting because momentum and convergence needs
follow up. (02)
Have a great weekend,
Rex (03)
