HO: Terrific summaries, thank you for that!

I typed 33 pages (!) of notes from the conference, which I hope to clean up and upload to ASPO-USA and here as soon as possible.

I jotted off a short article of my general impressions yesterday morning: Reflections on the ASPO Peak Oil Conference

As for the new project to create an online library of peak oil related data and papers, I have been bugging Charlie Hall about the notion for several years now and it sort of bloomed into fruition on the last day of the conference. Because I opened my big mouth, I guess it's officially my project, at least for now. Charlie and I and a few others hashed out a few ideas for it over dinner that night.

Along with it, there was a "call for papers" issued. [The notion of calling it "proceedings" from the ASPO-USA 4th Annual Conference was misguided, because they won't be proceedings and they won't be related to the conference.]

Those who want to suggest a topic on which they would like to write a technical paper for the ASPO library are invited to send their topics (not the papers) to papers [at] aspo-usa [dot] com, or to me at chris [at] getreallist [dot] com. I take it that an ad-hoc committee will be formed to review them and select some papers to greenlight for publication, but I wasn't involved in the development of that concept. In any case, I hope the new library project will help get the word out and eventually become a useful resource.

As usual, it was a pleasure to connect with TODers in person for a change, and HO, I'm sorry I never got a chance to circle around to you!
