[AG-TECH] Louisiana Venue Server - Sept 2/3 etc.

[John I. Quebedeaux, Jr]

As everyone probably knows, Baton Rouge and many parts of Louisiana were hit
extremely hard with Gustav. LSU Suffered power loss and some damage
according to reports, I can tell you our Access Grid venue server remains
down for the time being and will not be hosting any Access Grid meetings
before Monday, perhaps longer.

I¹m just briefly able to dialup to check messages, as most of Baton Rouge is
without power, so I may not be able to respond to emails promptly.

Wish us well,

AG Community:

Just a note, it is entirely possible that the Louisiana Venue Server may
have either access to it disrupted or it itself shutdown due to power loss
if Gustav threatens Baton Rouge and the trunks serving our University
severely enough to cause network / power disruptions.

If you¹ve scheduled an event on this venue server,  you may wish to
reschedule it to another server such as NCSA¹s, etc. for next week,
particularly Sept 2-5.

I do plan to keep it up unless we suffer a power failure/network failure and
I do plan to keep a video stream or two (there are 3 now, two from our Life
Sciences and one from our Center for Computation and Technology) in the
Argonne Lobby during those times unless we have a meeting in progress and
it¹s business as usual.

On another note, I¹m pleased to add a new venue to our server called the
Atchafalaya Swamp to keep up enough virtual spaces available for meeting in
our region.

Enjoy and hope everyone is well,

John Q.
