Hosted by the Lone Star Education and Research Network
(LEARN), The Quilt's Fall 2007 Member Meeting and Network Operations
Center (NOC) Workshop are being
held in Austin at the University of Texas J.J. Pickle
Research Center Campus October 3-5,
2007. The
Pickle Research Center is home to the
Texas Advanced Computing Center.
We plan to start off the week's events with the NOC Workshop
starting the morning of October 3rd and running until mid-day on October
4th. After lunch on October 4th, we will kick-off of our member
meeting at approximately 2:00 p.m. Our member meeting is scheduled to
conclude in the early afternoon of Friday, October 5th.
This Network Operations Center
Workshop is a new topic in the series of Quilt
workshops. The program for the workshop was
designed by a group of veteran R&E NOC managers from
across the country and focuses on topics that are
relevant to the day-to-day operations of a NOC and
its staff. The target audience for this
workshop is R&E networking business managers, NOC
managers and NOC staff.
The workshop program is designed to be very interactive
with a high level of audience participation. Workshop participants
will also be asked to complete two short surveys prior to the workshop
regarding their organization's NOC practices. Please see the workshop
agenda for additional details on the program.
Since a trip to Austin would not be complete without a
sampling of Austin BBQ and music, workshop participants are invited to join
us for dinner at Stubb's BBQ on
Wednesday evening, October 3rd.
We are also planning our Member Dinner for Thursday,
October 4th from 6:30-8:30 pm at
Threadgill's Restaurant.
