November 21, 2006 All, Further to Jyotika Virmani's email, I am writing to formally invite you to participate in the FLCOOS Caucus Meeting on Monday, December 4, 9am - 4pm at Florida Atlantic University. The meeting will be held at SeaTech in Dania Beach. The theme of the meeting is "Addressing community needs through ocean science and technology" and will include presentations on ocean energy technologies, acoustic sensor systems and autonomous sensor platforms as well as discussions on funding opportunities for COOS. An agenda for the meeting, together with details of the local hotels, a map and driving directions can be found in the attached document. If you have not done so, please RSVP Davida Fiore at dfiore@seatech.fau.edu as soon as possible so we can work out some of the logistics of the meeting. We look forward to seeing you at the meeting. Regards, Manhar Dhanak
