[Dune] Announcement: Dune User Meeting

[Bernd Flemisch]

  Dear Dune,

I organized a venue and set up a website with a registration form. 
Please have a look at
http://dumux.org/dune-user-meeting.html
and join the meeting!

I have set the registration deadline to August 20th.

I contacted most people from the external modules list and started to 
contact non-developer contributors to the mailing list. As I said 
already too often, please contact people you know that are using DUNE.

I do not have too much ideas about the schedule yet. But I got informed 
that some people only can join the first day, mainly due to an workshop 
on the happenings inside the capillary fringe organized by Peter and 
Olaf in Heidelberg the second and third day. That means that we will 
most likely have the first day as a full day, so if you arrive from 
further away you should consider arriving the day before.

I just noticed that all paragraphs started with "I" and hope that this 
does not sound too much like a one man show. So thank you for your 
responses so far and please feel free to join the discussion and 
contribute to a successful meeting.

Kind regards
Bernd
