Heidi will announce this during the plenary, but I wanted to provide the logistics for the meeting to those who have expressed interest in this topic. >> >> Please let me know if you have any questions or comments.

I want to reiterate the GPO's appreciation of the donations from both I2 and NLR for backbone services to date, and to their continued commitment to support GENI going forward. >> >> Kristin >> >> ******************************************** >> Kristin Rauschenbach --GPO Substrate Architect >> krausche at bbn.com >> 617-873-8005 >> >> >> >> >> >> > > > _______________________________________________ > dev mailing list > dev at geni.net > http://lists.geni.net/mailman/listinfo/dev
