Smile and say “STELLAAAAAAAAAAAA!” Hello from many (but not all) of the happy STELLA 2012 attendees! To read notes from STELLA 2012 sessions, go to the Meeting Notes page.
Update 11/1/2012: STELLA is on!
Sandy has come and gone, and we hope that everyone is safe and safely sheltered. Our hearts go out to everyone who was affected by the storm.
After much evaluation and deliberation, the STELLA co-organizers have decided that STELLA will still happen as originally scheduled, on Friday, November 9 and Saturday, November 10. We know that Sandy-related damage and aftereffects may prevent some people who wanted to attend from attending, but we agreed that keeping STELLA would probably work better than rescheduling for most attendees.
Regardless of whether you filled out our original attendance survey, if you’d like to attend STELLA, please fill out this very short attendance survey:
