[FM Discuss] Winter Camp Agenda

[adam hyde]

It sounds interesting Ed but perhaps a little broad. 

We need to focus on FM specifics during the event, Where do you think
this project most intersects with the work of FM? 

If we can get a succinct and pointed 10 minute presentation from you on
that, then it would be great to have the opportunity to see what you are
doing in this area.

I don't want to be self-indulgent, but it was this work that drew Adam's attention to me in the first place. I could spend five minutes showing some slides:
