I submitted article number 2 last night which should turn into the second third of my dissertation. It had to do with the release of the GRIME2 software package as a free, open-source application with commercial-friendly licensing. I have now started work on my third and final article. When I have three, then my dissertation research is complete and all I have to do is accumulate them into a dissertation. Of course there are other procedural, exam, and classes to be completed but it is a great milestone.
