[AG-TECH] SC'06 Global Satellite/Desktop Site Registration Open

[John I Quebedeaux Jr]

I beg everyone's indulgence - I've been getting one main question I  
felt i should send out to everyone about this:

* What's the difference between a SC'06 Global Satellite site and  
SC'06 Desktop Site?

Satellite sites are remote sites who will participate via Access Grid  
in the SC Global Showcase ONLY. The schedule (filter by SC Global  
Showcase) is on the SC'06 website http://sc06.supercomputing.org/ 
schedule/. There is NO CHARGE for this but participants MUST register  
and go through a testing certification to be approved (see the links  
in the copy below).

Desktop Sites are individual and room nodes that receive the Keynote,  
Masterworks Sessions, Exhibitor Forums, Plenary Sessions, Poster  
Sessions, AND SC Global Show Case for a fee. Fees are Student $15,  
Member $60, Non-Member $75, and Room Nodes $795. Included there will  
be access to a 12 hour time delayed broadcast for more convenient  
viewing for some sites of SC'06 *content and SC Global program.

Any more questions, send directly to me - Thanks, John Q.
