We are planning a 3rd Users Group Meeting for the Mid-Atlantic / Mid-West region to be held at THE Ohio State University on Saturday, October 22, 2011.
This weekend seemed best suited to Big Ten football schedule (campus is quiet that weekend) and other fall meetings.

Following the success of the first two meetings PSU (Mar.2010: 85 attended) and U-of-Michigan (Oct.2010: 30+ attended) last year (and of course the OFW6 at PSU), we are planning a similar format with some technical talks and presentations, and time for BOF sessions.

Jim Giuliani from OSU Mech-Aero Eng Dept will be hosting the meeting and has arranged a conference room in the very nice home of the MAE Dept, Scott Lab
One of the afternoon BoF sessions will be a "Basic OpenFOAM Introduction" aimed at local university students (and any one else)...

Also helping plan the meeting is Matt Cragun from TotalSim.

Please email us with your interest to attend and any ideas for talks, presentations, and BOF sessions or how to make these meetings useful... or if you'd like to help in some way.

We'll post updates on the CFD-Online forum .

UPDATE:
We are all set for this Saturday's UGM

Thanks to AVETEC, CRAZYAL, OSU Mech-Aero Eng Dept, TotalSim (us!), and another central OH company (that wishes to anonymously donate)...
We've secured sponsors for all refreshments, lunch, and the USB sticks… !

Jim Giuliani from OSU Mech-Aero Eng has setup a website for the meeting with helpful info and is updated with the latest schedule:

See you Saturday?
