Greetings! LUG ''13 will take place in San Diego this year at the Omni Hotel in the Downtown Gaslamp Quarter. LUG Sessions will be held from April 16-18. Registration is not yet open, but stay tuned for a detailed announcement from the LUG planning committee coming soon. The LUG program committee would like to invite members of the Lustre community to submit presentation abstracts for inclusion in this year''s meeting. It is not necessary to submit a technical paper, just an abstract of your proposed talk no more than a page in length. Talks should target a half an hour in length and reflect interesting Lustre development, application, or practices. The deadline to submit presentation abstracts is March 4, 2013. For abstract submission, we will be using the easychair conference system. The website for LUG 2013 is here: https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=lug2013 We''re really looking forward to an interesting and exciting program for this year''s meeting in San Diego! If you have questions or problems, feel free to mail Stephen Simms (ssimms at iu.edu), LUG 2013 program chair. Sincerely, The LUG ''13 Program Committee
