Hi guys David Chisnall proposed to organize next ESUG at Cambridge and the ESUG board likes this idea. Now we would love to have a group of local organizers to help making a great ESUG in such a great location. We would like to have a mailing list (marcus already set it up) to communicate with the board. So let us know that we start the process. Stef
