OK, I have to back peddle. I'm checking through all my email, and it's true that we did put together a proposal for the 2009 JMM, but then (in consultation with somebody on the committee) decided not to submit it, partly because of another Sage MAA minicourse proposal for the same meeting. So, the AMS certainly didn't reject our Sage proposal, since we didn't even submit it. It turns out the Sage MAA proposal was rejected, and this rejection was considered "stunning" by some. However, the proposer of that MAA minicourse said "our chances should be a lot better in a year..." though evidently that did not turn out to be the case, with another stunning rejection (?). > Jason G. says, "it might be nice to get an idea of what they did/ > didn't do" ... since we might want to submit a proposal for an MAA > minicourse eventually.

Well one clear thing we did which prevented our proposal from being accepted was not submitting our proposal! > Incidentally, for the info of those who read this list, several of us > submitted a proposal for a PREP workshop, but it was not approved.
