<gasp wheeze> Trying hard to dig myself out of a couple months back email. I haven't finished reading this thread, so please forgive me if I mention something that has already been covered - I just want to get this off now in case I get interupted. I had every good intention (we all know what they say about those) of trying to push for YAPC to be here next year, but shortly after SRL and I started looking into this, I ended up moving and with two new jobs which I am only getting the the tempo managed. I don't know if I can help get MIT's attention, _but_ if MIT is interested, maybe I could try to drum up some at least tentative industry interest to tease them with? Anywho, I work at MGH and a biotech startup, and through coleuges (sp?) have some connections to area biotech (and I know there are a few others on this list who do as well). I don't expect I could get much done before the holidays, but could make this a project for January. -Sean > > Thanks again to both of you for being so responsive and helpful :) > > e. >
