I also plan to be there. http://www.risc.uni-linz.ac.at/about/conferences/issac2008 I think it is great that you were invited to present at ISSAC. As you probably know, the ISSAC meetings have a very long history with ACM. http://www.sigsam.org/issac/ I believe that your presentation of Sage at this meeting should be considered a significant milestone for Sage! :-) I am quite sure there will be several people from NAG at ISSAC 2008 but I cannot name names right now. Following ISSAC there will also be a meeting specifically about Axiom and Aldor. A very preliminary draft announcement (not yet formally announced) is here: http://axiom-wiki.newsynthesis.org/SandboxWorkShopRISC2008 I will be there. I think it would be great if you and anyone else interested in Axiom and Aldor could also be present. For more information please contact Ralf Hemmecke or Martin Rubey.
