The 2015 SEA conference has been announced! The call for speakers and tutorials is open! Check it out and submit yours at https://sea.ucar.edu/conference/2015

I'm very happy to let you know that that Srinath Vadlamani has volunteered for the role of Proposal Review Committee Chair, and his offer has been accepted by the Executive Committee.

Srinath is willing to work with any current and future projects to establish software management plans. He is also willing to help identify NCAR personal skill sets that may compliment proposed projects with software components.

I'm extremely excited to announce that Julianne Blomer has volunteered for the role of Best-Practices Committee Chair, and her offer has been accepted by the Executive Committee. She is already working on some ideas which we hope to present to the SEA community soon.

Please join me in welcoming Julianne in her active role for the SEA!

Check it out! At the time of this writing, all the talks have been announced and the agendas of the various tutorials are being posted (however each tutorial has already posted the abstract of an introductory talk, so you'll get the idea).

It's going to be a great conference, and it is also great value with mere $100 registration fee for the 5 days event! Register and spread the word.

Hope to see you there.
