Thanks for the prompt reply.

Regarding ESE, I've been scheduled the day before.
Do you or some of your co-contributors from Weigle & Wilcek also attend
it the 1st day?

I mentioned somewhere that a specific talk about Eclipse in the
Insurance industry was just after mine so unless it is totally
impossible, trying to meet up that afternoon could be a good chance
during such a finance-related event.

I cannot promise I'll be there all of day 2. Which partly depends, how
long the Christmas break is at my client's? No immediate worries there
despite a sharp fall of automotive stocks except VW, too...
but it is more to meet certain delivery dates where we help building
systems to inform about cost, quality or efficiency, thus things getting
more and more important for EVERY business ;-)

On a long term some usefully unified business tools should certainly
help the entire industry at least to invest their efforts in a more
efficient way than re-inventing wheels like a Currency-Exchange
mechanism over and over again ;-)
