I have asked Barry Baines to take on a substantial role in engineering project management. He is a perfect fit for the job. He and I will be putting together the agenda for next Tuesday. I have one more in a holding pattern. ;-)

Hopefully we are all together by next Jan. 8. Expect a preliminary agenda by THIS Tuesday. I will expect to have all of your requested revisions to the topics to be covered by the weekend so we can have people who will be asked to prepare things for it. I am still asking a few questions about timing.

I have gotten a very good response to my call for help. Some new folks showed up and some who have been waiting for action have jumped back in. I am confident we can make a good start to 2008 and BUILD SOMETHING.

Happy New Year, Bob
