Dear All,
The USA Science and Engineering Festival have announced that the
festival will open on 10/10/10 see http://www.usasciencefestival.org
Maybe now is the time to lobby them:
Larry Bock

760-846-3473
to make a feature of the date 10/10/10 to promote the use of the
metric system in the USA.
If you choose to do this, might I suggest that you push the theme that
several people from the USA were involved and committed to developing
the metric system for the whole world in the 1780s and 1790s. They
were Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, and George Washington, see http://www.metricationmatters.com/who-invented-the-metric-system.html
and http://metricationmatters.com/USAmetricsystemhistory.html for
details.
Cheers,
Pat Naughtin
