Legislative Visit

[Lisa Childers]

Kirk,

Yes, ANL will be on-grid on 10/6 from 1:50-2:30 CDT.

I recommend we begin system tests at 1:00 CDT.  Someone from NCSA should set
up a backchannel telecon for the AccessGrid technicians to use during the
system tests and demo.  The telecon info should be mailed to the list
monitored by AG technicians:
ag-tech at mcs.anl.gov.

Lisa

Lisa,
Thank you for your help in assisting us with the visit by Representative
Howard.  It looks like the window for the ACCESS grid portion of our visit
will be from about 1:50 to 2:20 or 2:30.  Please let us know if that time
frame is good for you--I am trying to organize all the pieces of the visit.

Scott, can you please contact the New Mexico folks to see if we could take
advantage of their ACCESS grid demo scheduled during that timeframe?

Thank you for your help, Lisa.
