Sept - 20010924, Dixon NB: We are
members of ViDeNet so the dialing instructions are correct as noted. Our
<Exit Zone Prefix> is <0> so the correct dial number for the first
MCU conference listed, if your system is registered on the WNY-HPNVI Gatekeeper,
is <06127674391973*1234>.

Subject: Megaconference to be Small Part of Larger
Internet2 On-Line Conference
Internet2 Conference
& Megaconference-III Combine On-Line
Internet2 planning groups are at this
moment working on the details but it is now clear
that we will be attempting to convert as much of the Fall Internet2 Membership
Meeting (that was scheduled for the week of 10/1) as is possible to
a completely non-physical on-line conference. I'm in one of those
discussions now and have seen no published details
but will post any/all links and material on our
Megaconference
site pages. There are likely to be Internet2 Conference sessions
and BOF meetings from Tuesday 10/2 through Friday 10/5. Supporting
technologies will range from live massive H.323 real-time
conferences to very high quality MPEG-2 live
multicast streams. Telephone conference bridges will
also be available for those without appropriate video technology available.
Most presentation materials will be posted to Web sites as
well.
Local Public Sites
Sought
At this time, Peter
Jörgensen, is working on a public site at the UB School of Informatics.
Details will be posted as they emerge on our local Web
pages. There are no
other known public sites at this time in the WNY region.
Please consider this as an opportunity to shake-down
your systems & procedures and to get involved in
both the Megaconference and the Fall Internet2 Membership Meeting.
Contact me directly
if you have interest & capability.
Duplicate Postings
Those of you who are on both the WNY-PRI
distribution listserv and the WNY-HPNVI
will be getting duplicates of event summaries like this for awhile. If
you are not getting duplicates
and want to be receive notices of IP-video events and projects that may be
relevant to the region, please email
me and ask to be included in the WNY-HPNVI distribution. I'm sorry
for the cross postings but know of no other way at this time to keep everyone
informed.
