Meeting at the GLAST Symposium

We have held a satellite meeting on Thursday, Feb 8 2007, associated with the First GLAST Symposium at Stanford University, California.

The purpose of the meeting was to make known to a broader public the writing of the White Paper and thus to possibly expand the community involved in writing it. We spent about half of the time with open discussions, following brief presentations on the status of the White Paper, the field as such, and technology questions.

Each Working Group had 15 minutes to present the status of their work, including open questions, in one or a few single-slide presentations. Following each presentation we had a guided plenary discussion of the issues presented by the Working Group. The slides of all presentation can be found below.
