Re: APIS 2006 September 16 & 17 2006 Oxford

I attended the first APIS, and I think still have some of the
documentation from it. I'm sure that Terry both thought of the name and
organised it, and certainly chaired at least some if not all of the
proceedings. It got ridiculously hot, more like a Turkish bath than a
conference but I don't think that was his fault.

There had previously been a meeting in Paris which was organised through
the list, but I understand it was a rather less formal gathering, though
I was unable to attend. We'd also had a meeting of some people in London
I think, and there may also have been some in other places.But the name
APIS wasn't used for any of these.

Regards,

Peter
