NERSC User Group (NUG) Meeting

June 24-25, 2004 at Berkeley Lab

The Spring 2004 NUG Meeting took place on Thursday, June 24 (training day) and Friday, June 25 (business meeting), in Building 54, Conference Room 130 (Perseverance Hall).

Remote Attendance

An Access Grid virtual meeting is an internet-mediated audio-video conference. Access Grid facilities are available at most DOE sites; see your local ESNet representative to find out the location and availability of an Access Grid Node at your site. Workstation software also exists that allows limited participation in Access Grid meetings. We would be happy to accommodate all sites and individual participants, but cannot guarantee interoperability with all workstation software.

VNC (or Virtual Netowrk Computer) client-server software will be used to push both PowerPoint slides and live demonstrations. See Info for AG Node Operators for details.

An accompanying Conference Telephone Call is available.

We also plan to broadcast the training lectures via Live Real Media streaming, and to serve the resulting media files on our web server after the training day.
