Folks,    (01)

What do people think about swapping sessions? E.g., Pascal Hitzler has a 
conflict with October, but he may not have a conflict with November. Looking at 
the schedule, this means that Oct 31 is not good for Pascal, but potentially 
Nov. 28 (uncertain until I confirm with him explicitly) may be ok. If such a 
swap is ok, then that would mean that R2 swaps with R3, according to our notes 
at: http://ontolog.cim3.net/forum/mini-series-org/2013-09/msg00001.html#nid012.    (02)

I know there may be other potential conflicts, so please let all of us know as 
cases arise.    (03)

Thanks much!
Leo    (04)
