Re: [AG-TECH] AG session for network staff ?



Hello Mike O'Connor,
Is there another date that is good for you? We could still have the meeting at 8 pacific. Is that time good for you. If we have it then some of the people in Europe could come. I think it would be a little late for Asia though.
Thanks
Mike

PS. I am assuming you have been getting all of the suggestions

Mike,

Prior to replying to you I checked the LBL Holiday schedule but neglected to check the BNL holiday schedule.
BNL is closed July 5th so I would not be able to use the AG node that day.

Tom,
Monica Rabarison expressed an interest in having a meeting
to discuss mutlicast issues and troubleshooting for the
access grid. (see below some of the email we have been
sending.) I have found two people who are willing to
participate in this. Mike O'Conner from ESNet and Greg Bell from LBLNet. Mike is willing to give the
presentation and Greg is willing to help answer
questions. The first question is can this be done at the
8 am townhall on July 7 (Mike can only do the 8 am presentation) The second question is what kind of
discussion do you think would be good to present.
Thank you,
Mike

Mike,

Sure, July 5 for the 8AM pacific meeting is fine, I'll
have to decline the later meeting.

We should talk about the audience and topic of

discussion. >
