It would be interesting to put faces with the names. Dirk

From: Vladimir Vassilevsky on 12 Apr 2010 14:07 First, I want to thank everyone who came to the conference. That made the COMP.DSP-2 gathering a lot of fun. There were interesting presentations and discussions, and, of course, many social talks. Special thanks to Rick Lyons for being our chairman, and Al Clark for the great idea of having the conference. During the next few days, conference presentations and pictures will be published at the web site (RBJ: gun range pictures, also. The "howitzer" of Jerry Avins was simply amazing).

There are two more members of the conference who are not in this picture: Cale Yates, the vice chair of Kansas City IEEE, who gave the great support to the conference, and my dear wife Lena. She is the one who deserves the biggest credit for the organizational part. > I say, Thanks Vlad for all your work, > thanks to your lovely wife Lena for her > "even more work" and her warm hospitality. > Without you two there would not have been a > conference at all. It was pleasure to meet in person with such a group of nice, energetic and highly intelligent people. The presentations were interesting and enlightening. It is such a rewarding feeling to talk with the people who understand every concept and formula that you are deriving. > It was nice to meet Grant Griffin, and > experience his calm, mild-mannered, humor > and DSP wisdom.

But anyway, I like your idea: http://www.abvolt.com/misc/vlad_the_impaler.jpg Vladimir Vassilevsky DSP and Mixed Signal Design Consultant http://www.abvolt.com
From: Al Clark on 12 Apr 2010 15:23 I can echo all the accolades made about the recent compdsp conference. Vlad and wife Lena really pulled it off. As the chairman of the first conference, I have a very good understanding of the work involved. Well done! Once again, Rick Lyons stepped up and made this conference a success. He was also a major contributor of the first one. There is a tentative plan to combine papers from compdsp 1 & 2 into a single site, probably hosted at Grant's dspguru site. The compdsp.com URL will be redirected there. dspguru gets quite a few Google hits, so it might improve our exposure. It also includes the original compdsp tricks. compdsp.com is actually owned by Danville Signal. I grabbed it years ago when we had some people that were causing at lot of mischief in the group. It only became live recently. I would encourage someone to self declare themselves chair of a compdsp 3 conference. This might be held in 2 years (instead of 6). About 1/2 of the compdsp 2 group were also compdsp 1 alumni. I think this is a testimony in itself to the value of the conference. Most of us have become Internet friends over many years. It's great fun to meet in real life. They are exactly how you think they are and yet quite different (if that makes any sense at all). I'm looking forward to compdsp 3. BTW, I survived the food poisoning I got late Saturday (probably from my motel breakfast, not the conference food). I really wanted to play with the guns. Oh well......
