Hello everybody,

My name is Monika Rabarison, originally from the island of Madagascar.
I function as Sys Admin/Webmaster/Node Operator/etc... for the Scientific 
Visualization Lab (htt://raven.jsums.edu/~visweb) at Jackson State University.
JSU has two AGNs: one (jsuenode) is located at the Mississippi e-Center 
(http://ecenter.jsums.edu) and the other (jsuvisnode) is where I am on 
main campus.

jsuvisnode is driven by 3 computers (display, video/audio, and control),
one projector, two mics, and two cameras. Additional cameras are installed
in the room for VRVS. It has been up and running since March 2002.
Currently I am still running AG 1.0.

We have participated in different events, tutorials, and workshops on the 
AG. We have been using the AG to do some collaborative visualization demos
with other sites in the state of Mississippi too. We have a three-module 
Fakespace RAVE in the room.
 
jsuenode participated in the Rap Session at SC2002. JSU plans to have 
offer classes over the AG next fall.

This is a great technology. Thanks for the contributors and the techies.

Best Regards and See you on the AG,
Monika
