NCSA venue server lobby this day. No one has to formally sign up to
participate and there is no formal agenda. Just show up. If you
happen to pop in when two or more sites are already in the middle of a
conversation and/or interacting with the white board, just wait for an
appropriate time to interrupt and introduce yourselves. </span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>Last year 8 to 10 different sites participated throughout
the day. Sites would enter and exit the venue throughout the day and even
when a participating site was online, there weren't always children
present at the site because of how different institutions scheduled their
demos. Consequently, this is one reason the meeting is being held in the
NCSA Lobby, where many nodes tend to lurk, and why we are encouraging other AG
nodes to participate, even if they are having children visiting their
site. We apologize in advance for the audio we will be transmitting
in the NCSA Lobby that day and we are grateful to NCSA for giving us permission
to use this venue.</span></font></p>
