[CentralOH] COhPy User's Group Meeting Topics

[Brian Costlow]

James,

I'd love to see what you've done.

Would you be ready to present on the first meeting (7/28)?

How long do you think your presentation would run?

(Note: changed subject to try to move this back under the Meeting Topics Thread)

Regards,

Brian
