Legislative Visit

[Lisa Childers]

Scott,

We'll be there.  Rep. Howard has visited ANL a few times - it will be good
to talk w/her again.  The 1-3pm time window is CDT, correct?

Ernie Herrara at the University of New Mexico has an AccessGrid demo
scheduled for that day at 2:00-2:30 CDT.  UNM will be showing the AG to Air
Force Corporate Information Officers.  In our experience, the more folks
interacting together on the grid, the more compelling the experience.  Is it
possible for you to coordinate with Ernie (Ernie Herrera) and John
Greenfield (green at arc.unm.edu) and perhaps get everyone on the grid at the
same time?

Lisa

Can we get your help to have someone from ANL to participate in an ACCESS
Grid demo of about 30 minutes with Illinois State Representative Connie
Howard on October 6 between 1 and 3 PM?

She has been supportive of the Illinois Century Network, and we would like
to showcase a variety of technology and its impact on Illinois.

Thanks!
Scott
