Syncup call: review contribution proposals and technical issues

[LaMothe, Ryan R]

We've been using and developing with Aparapi extensively over the past
year on a number of high performance computing projects. Is this thread
open to a list of our initial impressions with both Aparapi and Java which
I think we should discuss tomorrow?

Sorry for the late reply, it has been a hectic couple of weeks.
