Hi All,

  Sorry for the late notice, but there is a meeting page up for the ad hoc meeting this morning here:

https://halldweb.jlab.org/wiki/index.php/FADC_Emulation_Meeting,_August_26,_2015

We will use the Offline Software Bluejeans number. Namely  968592007

For those on site at JLab, we will be in CC A110.

Regards,
-David
