AG presentations

[Jennifer Teig von Hoffman]

I agree with Leslie too, and Ginny. "Booking" a node is very different
from booking a conference room. We've been handling these things on a very
information basis here at BU, and for the most part it's working out okay
but requires a level of constant collaboration that may not be possible as
the number of node-users scales up.

I'd like to volunteer to be on the sub-group Leslie suggested.
