>Wanted to give a welcome and special thanks to the speakers for at the UNM
>Chautauqua, August 9 and 10. This Chautauqua is one of three technology road
>designed to demonstrate to researchers, educators and students how emerging
>technologies and the developing Alliance Grid will change the way people
>communicate, learn, and conduct research and business in the 21st century.

>Chautauqua is a Seneca Indian word meaning meeting or gathering. The original
>Chautauqua movement started in the late 19th century, when traveling 
>educational
>meetings were used to introduce new concepts and cultural realities of the
>industrial revolution to an increasingly diverse American population. More
info
>on the history of Chautauquas can be found at:

>http://www.ncsa.uiuc.edu/alliance/chautauqua/History.html

>Each Chautauqua will feature interactive demonstrations and seminars,
conducted
>from Alliance partner sites across the country live over the Grid. While this
>type of interactive participation is currently available through high-priced,
>proprietary telecommunications technologies, the Chautauquas will showcase
>emerging technologies that are beginning to offer readily accessible and
>affordable alternatives. While still experimental, five or 10 years down the
>road the Grid is expected to be the norm, driving future scientific research 
>and
>technology development. More info about the Access Grid is located at:
>
>http://www.ncsa.uiuc.edu/alliance/chautauqua/AccessGridNode.html
>
>The audience for the Chautauquas are researchers, educators, and students and
>will hope to involve people who are not yet involved in using advanced
>technology or with Alliance. This will include a live audience at UNM and 
>remote
>sites throughout the country. 
>
>Someone from UNM will be in touch to finalize plans, confirm you have travel
>plans in order (if required), and give you details on supplying a copy of your
>presentation either electronically or via disk.
>
>Thanks again for agreeing to participate. We feel that Chautauquas give us a
>chance to share Alliance developments with a wider group of university
>researchers and educators and will stimulate the growth of the nationwide
>digital research community that will drive scientific research and technology
>development in the 21st century. 
>
>Please let me know if you have any questions.

>Margaret
