[sf-lug] Fwd: ANNOUNCE: Registration Open for Gelato ICE: Itanium® Conference & Expo 2006

Wed Feb 15 10:33:44 PST 2006

    The link below explains their mission but not how'd
they come up with the name?

    One of their questions is is there a need for a new
(optimized) programming language for the Itanium
CPU. Seems the application thrust leans toward the
scientific.
