Agreed.

Sorry, that's a new one on me.  What's an Access Grid? (though, under
negation as failure, I expect the answer is "no we don't" :-)

I agree.  Sorry to be in radio silence for so long, I've been (very) busy
with other stuff. My suggestion is that those who can meet at ADL do so,
then we have a follow-up meeting in Manchester in (say) early October.  I
certainly won't be at ADL, but I understand that Ralf can't make it over to
the UK, so it seems we can't manage a f2f involving all the currently known
interested parties anyway.

Regards,
Ian

Negation as Failure? No, I don't think we'll be having that. Remember 
the "D" in DIG ;-)

Access Grid has been described as "videoconferencing on steroids" but 
it's more than that really. Basically supports distributed meetings 
through video, audio, shared workspaces etc.

http://www.accessgrid.org/

You don't actually need that much hardware to participate -- I believe 
it'll all run on a basic machine with suitable peripherals (e.g. 
camera/mic).

It seems time to make a decision re the f2f meeting.

Sean and I propose to have it on Friday September 10 in Manchester.
(Alternative dates in the week 6-10 September could be arranged.)
For those who cannot attend and are interested we can set up
an Access Grid meeting. Please let us know your availability
as soon as possible.

Best,

    Daniele

Dear colleagues,

after the teaching period and just coming back from my vacation I 
return to the DIG meeting issue.

Concering a meeting in Manchester (or Bristol), I see some problems 
w.r.t. funding (flight costs, etc.).
Would it be possible to meet at ADL 04 
(http://www.cs.man.ac.uk/~seanb/adl/) in Ulm
(around 24th September)?

Best regards,

Ralf

Several of the "usual suspects" will be at ADL, but holding the meeting there 
probably wont do anything to broaden the basis of the group and encourage, e.g., 
members of the Jean team to participate. This seems to be a rather important 
argument against having *the* meeting there (although it may still make sense to 
have *a* meeting there).
