I heard consistently positive comments about FDO, and was very happy with the outcome. We had 80 registrants, which is about a third of the people registered for MICRO. There were several local people who came just to FDO. We retained the vast majority of participants through all sessions to the end of the day, and picked up several drop-ins for the panel session at the end. We're looking forward to an even better workshop next year, FDDO-3 (Feedback-Directed and Dynamic Optimization.) The steering committee will consist of Brad, Jim, VC Sreedhar, Jong-Deok Choi and myself. Susan Eggers is General Chair, and Mike Smith is Program Chair. It'll be held with MICRO-33 in Si Valley. I've tallied the results form a feedback form that we passed out at the workshop. Roughly 40 people filled out this form. If these people follow through, our submission numbers should be up significantly next year, particularly as we pick up people from Dynamo. There's a strong bias toward a MICRO association, with some interest in PLDI. It looks like we're on the right track wrt publishing on the web. Brad and I are recommending a handful of the best papers to be turned into JILP submissions.

Thanks again for your help and guidance. This is well on its way to a well-established workshop. -CJ
