Hey, I'm really sorry.... I thought I sent this to this group, but I only sent it to NICAR-L (which I know I can barely keep up with anymore...) This may explain why I've heard from less people than I expected...
We want to take advantage of NICAR to convene PANDA enthusiasts who are interested in the future of the project. The simple fact is that none of us who started it are professionally invested in using the tool, so we want to make sure that we don't get in the way of those of you who are using it.
This close to the event, we have to just pick a time, so we will meet on Thursday at lunch. If you want to go, please email me directly. If the group is manageable we'll go to some restaurant a little outside the NICAR lunch crush. If somehow we get really big, we'll find someplace to eat in the hotel and maybe order from Grubhub or some local pizza or something.
Sorry for the short notice!
Joe
