Schedule for SC99 Access Grid w/ QoS demo

[Rick Stevens]

I looked at the AG schedule and most of it is still empty..  Since the AG 
group is
still working out the schedule, it certainly is not closed yet.  I want to 
encourage
everyone to check the AG Web site for the Virtual Venue schedule (which 
should start
to appear later today).. with the new VV software multiple AG events can be 
going
on simultaneous (with different subsets of the sites participating), and 
with with
the ability to move from one virtual location to another.. This indeed provides
much more flexibility with the AG schedule..
