1 ANNOUNCEMENT of Mid-Atlantic OpenFOAM Users Group at Penn State

Dear Foamers in the Mid-Atlantic/Midwest USA (PA/NY/MD/VA/WV/OH/NJ/DE/...)

The second Users Group Meeting (Stammtisch) for the Mid-Atlantic/Midwest region of the US will be held at the University of Michigan on Saturday, October 23, 2010.

Following the great success of the first meeting, the format will be very similar with technical presentations in the morning and birds-of-a-feather sessions in the afternoon.

Please send an email to Kevin Maki (kjmaki@umich.edu) if you are interested in attending. Also, please let me know if you have any suggestions to make the meeting work best for the community. In addition, I am posting this announcement to the forum and the extend-project portal. I will suggest that the portal be used for public comments and interaction:
