[Athen] feedback on round-table networking time at AHG 2009

[Hadi Rangin]

Hi Howard,

How about moving the keynote talk to the beginning of the main program right 
after the breakfast and setting up bird-of-a-feather sessions during lunch 
time on the 1st day of the conference? This is a typical format at many 
conferences I know.
At this time we don't have any sub-groups or user groups but we can easily 
come up with some interest areas and find volunteers to lead those 
bird-of-a-feather sessions.

We could use the second lunch time as the entertainment/award/misc program.

Hadi
