Subject: MRDS Kalamazoo Schedule

Here's a list of performance-related sessions and events at
Kalamazoo.  It is probably not a complete list.  Feel free to plug
other sessions that didn't make it here.

It would be nice if session organizers could send abstracts from
their sessions to PERFORM so we could have a sneak preview of what's
coming up
