[TOS] tos Digest, Vol 18, Issue 3

[Ralph Morelli]

Hi Heidi,

Yes, the HFOSS project will be holding its annual day-long Symposium at
SIGCSE.  We
haven't started planning the program yet.  SIGCSE is scheduled for March
9-12.  So I think our
symposium will be on March 9th.  Pre-conference workshops  would be on the
evening of
the 9th, I think.
