font-family:Arial'>It is that time of year again and I’m wondering if
others in the community are planning to demonstrate their Access Grid
nodes. We did this last year at the National Library of Medicine with
great success. If you are interested in participating this year, please
contact me. I’m willing to do coordination of “Kids on
the Grid” this year and generate a schedule showing when different sites
might be online.</span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>Last year we had permission to meet in the NCSA venue server
lobby. I asked for the lobby because sites often lurk there and I thought
there would always be some one present, but it turned out that the presence of
the interacting kids drove the lurkers away. Consequently, it might be
best to use another venue. I can offer the NLM venue at NCSA. It
can be accessed from the doorway to The World off the NCSA lobby. Last
year we set things up so the kids could interact with an application as well as
see and hear each other and it would be nice to try this again this year.</span></font></p>

sites. </span></font></p>
