I'm not sure if we're talking about the same thing here... There was a rejection of a general open-source MAA session, which they thought might not have enough submissions, so we had a very nice, well- attended MAA panel (R, Sage, Undergrad Research, and WebWorK) instead. I never heard anything about it being "stunning" that we were rejected, so perhaps that is referring to a different proposal I'm not aware of? Jason's comments on the latest attempt are in a different post in this thread, but it was a very different kind of proposal - a summer week-long intensive online workshop. > > 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.
