Description: This meeting is for persons demonstrating the Access Grid
during Bring Your Sons and Daughters to Work Day.  The time of the meeting
has been set to accommodate a 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. time span in all four time
zones of the continental United States.  The meeting is open to anyone,
including those outside the United States and those who will not have
children visiting and who just may want view what's happening.  Northwestern
University will be providing a white board children can use to interact with
during the demo from 9 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. and from 2:30 p.m. to 5 p.m.
central time.  Nodes wishing to use the white board will need to run a VNC
client (a free client can be downloaded from http://www.realvnc.com) and
connect the client to Northwestern's VNC server at
ag4.mccormick.northwestern.edu. 

 

Last year 8 to 10 different sites participated throughout the day.  Sites
would enter and exit the venue throughout the day and even when a
participating site was online, there weren't always children present at the
site because of how different institutions scheduled their demos.
Consequently, this is one reason the meeting is being held in the NCSA
Lobby, where many nodes tend to lurk, and why we are encouraging other AG
nodes to participate, even if they are having children visiting their site.
We apologize in advance for the audio we will be transmitting in the NCSA
Lobby that day and we are grateful to NCSA for giving us permission to use
this venue.

 

Information about this meeting also is posted on the Access Grid Schedule
Server for April 28 at http://agschedule.ncsa.uiuc.edu/default.asp.
