Because of difficulties surrounding scheduling, nondisclosure information management, and participation by IBM, we have decided not to hold the next Early Science Program workshop this summer. Instead, we will look toward scheduling a workshop later this year, or in 2012.

Currently, we are finalizing plans for the early access system and we expect we will schedule a telecon with the Early Science teams this summer. Given the timing, it might be useful to target a workshop once the teams have some results.
