Announcement of NGG meeting-JULY 16-17
The proposed NGG meeting date of 16-JULY-73 has been confirmed. The
meeting will be held at the University of Illinois on July 16 and 17.
An informal meeting will be held Sunday evening, July 15, to arrange
the agenda.
The initial meeting place will be:
Room 201, Advanced Computation Building
1101 W. Springfield
Urbana, Ill.
In the event that more space is needed, subsequent meetings may take
place elsewhere.
James Michener suggests that those attending be sure to have read his
RFC 493 on graphics protocols.
Local accommodations at Ramada Inn can be reserved by calling
(800)648-5970(their tool-free number) or the local Inn, (217)352-
7891. If you wish to make other arrangements, contact me and I will
try to help.
Airline reservations can best be handled by your local airline
office. Jim suggested that I warn Ozark (the local service) of the
upcoming surge of non-student, non-standby passengers in the hopes of
getting better service. As Ozark is currently enjoying a pilot
strike, I have been unable to do this. Hopefully, it will be over in
a few days, but if it isn't, I recommend that you get the closest
flight you can and reserve a car for the rest of the way. This
probably will be resolved in time to avoid any hassle, but I thought
you would like to know about it just in case.
So that I will have a rough idea how much space we will need, let me
know, if possible, if you plan to attend.
I can usually be reached by calling (217)333-9354, preferably in the
afternoon. I will be gone July 2-6, so during that period, Nancy
Freece at (217)333-7161 will take your messages. Network mail will
be read earliest (also during JULY 2-6) if sent to user BUNCH at site
USC-ISI. My mailing address is:
Steve Bunch
Center for Advanced Computation, Room 208
University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
Urbana, Ill. 61801
