[esp-r] How about a meeting of the ESP-r community at eSim 2010 in Manitoba in May

[Jon Hand]

That fun eSim conference of IBPSA Canada is going to be held in Manitoba 19-20 May
of this year.  I am planning on taking part in the conference and there may be others
in the ESP-r development or user community who will also be at eSim 2010.

At a minimum we should plan on getting together for a beer and sharing stories,
a slightly grander scheme could be to plan a dinner meeting so that there was
more time for discussions.  And what about a one-two hour discussion/roundtable during
the conference so we can discover who is doing what, ideas for the future and some
critical networking.

And if there is interest and a venue that can be arranged I would be willing to arrive
just before or stay just after the conference for a workshop.  Topics might include
source code control (which makes some folk cross-eyed), the new and evolving
META file format which several 3rd party developers are using for communications
with ESP-r, network flow and controls.  And you might have additional ideas....

So.... have a think and shout out your suggestions and hopefully there will
be many opportunities at eSim!
