<div dir="ltr"><div>Hello all -</div><div><br></div><div>We just recently participated in the OLA conference, and here's a report from Jey on the enjoyable events there. <a href="http://ola-ssd.blogspot.com/2014/04/the-ola-204-conference-and-ssd.html">http://ola-ssd.blogspot.com/2014/04/the-ola-204-conference-and-ssd.html</a>. Why a report from the OLA Conference? In case you haven't heard, we aren't having our usual SSD conference in July this year, so we sponsored some sessions at the OLA conference, which just happened mid-April. <a href="http://ola-ssd.blogspot.com/2014/03/no-gateways-conference-this-year.html">http://ola-ssd.blogspot.com/2014/03/no-gateways-conference-this-year.html</a> On a related note, we are looking for conference committee members for next year and board members for right now. You can see what we have available on our blog home page: <a href="http://ola-ssd.blogspot.com/">http://ola-ssd.blogspot.com/</a> further down the page on the right side. If you are curious about any of the positions, don't hesitate to shoot us an email at <a href="mailto:olassd@gmail.com">olassd@gmail.com</a>.</div>
