Hi All, I have attached the meeting minutes to this email: sorry they are a bit late. Also, I have created a page on the Swiki, because I feel that this will be the easiest way to figure out which professors are going. If you cannot get into the swiki, the username/password are the usual: attach/carmen. I will work some more on the swiki (as far as getting information up) in the near future. UWAB 2007-2008 <http://swiki.cc.gatech.edu:8080/WUAB/88> CoCaesar's Palace 2008 <http://swiki.cc.gatech.edu:8080/WUAB/89> If anybody has any questions, please feel free to email me over the break. Have a wonderful Spring break! :) ~Sweta P.S. Candis-- Could you please put up the logos and stuff on the swiki? Or email them to me, and I will put them up? Thanks so much! :) -- Sweta Vajjhala CS 2110 TA Georgia Institute Of Technology Cell: (603)-738-7711
