Our meeting took place during a week of many flight cancellations, due to the eruption of a volcano in Iceland. This caused a number of European participants to arrive late and prevented several more — 10 total, including one organizer — from attending at all. Nevertheless, by rearranging the planned activities, a lively and stimulating program was achieved involving the 32 odd participants who managed to attend. In particular, several summaries of striking progress were presented, directions for further research identified, introductions were made, collaborations advanced, and some new ones established.
