Whirlwind tour

I just picked up Steve Guerin of Redfish at the airport in Providence.  He will be speaking at WPI tomorrow about "Visualizing and Interacting with Complexity through Adaptive Systems and Autonomous Agents". Following the presentation, we're holding an information session for the "bootstrap" of the proposed Santa Fe project center.  During the rest of the day, Steve will also meet with the Moving and Visiting teams as well as with the team of Computer Science students working on the LOUIS APIs.  On Tuesday, after a lunch in with Bryan Glascock and Nigel Jacobs of the City of Boston and another meeting with Jason Schrieber, former transportation planner with the City of Cambridge, we're taking off to go to London.  There, we're meeting with Metropolis Green , as well as with colleagues at CASA (UCL) and LSE on Wednesday, right after landing.  On thursday, we are giving a presentation at the 3rd Annual Renewable Energy Conference, then we're off to Venice in the evening.  The next day (Friday) we have several meetings in Venice with Venis, UNESCO and other officials to discuss ongoing Forma Urbis/Redfish projects as well as the upcoming WPI projects.  On Saturday we return to London for one more night before returning to the US on Sunday.  Monday, before taking off for Santa Fe again, Steve and I will be at MIT to give yet another presentation...  
Whew! Not bad for less than a week's work...
