Dear HSSG Members, Please see the following announcement regarding a special opportunity at
the upcoming Interim meeting in John D'Ambrosia Chair, IEEE 802.3 Higher Speed Study Group -----Original Message----- Group Chairs Please forward this announcement to your groups meeting in Thanks Geoff ============================= 802.1 & 802.3 Colleagues- During our meeting week in opportunity to see a presentation on the CERN, the world's largest
particle physics laboratory (and also the place where the world wide web was
born!). CERN continues as a leading edge implementer of very high speed
networking, on both a local and wide area basis. By special arrangement, this presentation will be given at ITU and will start during the Wednesday
lunch hour. The room location will be announced later: This presentation will
be open to all meeting attendees. - 12.30 - 13.30 hrs, at the ITU: The talk will cover: "What CERN is" "What CERN does" "Networking at CERN" and will be given by David Foster Communication Systems Group Leader at CERN After the talk, there will be a tour CERN's underground ATLAS detector - 13.30 - 14.00 hrs: transfer from the ITU to the ATLAS experiment - 14.00 - appr. 15.15 hrs: Visit of ATLAS experiment (http://atlas.ch/) - appr. 15.15 hrs - 15.45 hrs: transfer back to ITU Unfortunately, the tour portion is limited to 50 people (maximum of
a groups size for safety reasons). Because of this (and the expected high level of interest) there will be
a lottery/drawing to determine who gets to go on the Atlas tour. Most Session chairs have arranged their busy sessions to make the
best accommodation in their agenda for this in spite of the tour's overlap
with Wednesday afternoon session The lottery sign-up will be via the web. Go on-line at: http://standards.nortel.com/Ethernet/CERN.htm to enter. One entry per registrant. Entries will be checked for
duplicates. In the unlikely event that all space are not taken by the 802.1 and
802.3 membership we will fill the remaining spaces with family members. There
is provision for you to enter their names when you sign up. The web site
will close sometime Sunday afternoon, so enter now. You will need your
meeting registration number to sign-up and also to claim your seat on the bus. I will conduct the drawing this coming Sunday evening. Winners of the lottery will be notified by e-mail early Monday morning. For any questions in advance or at the meeting, please get in touch
with me. My special thanks to the many people who spent a lot of extra time and effort to put this event together. Best regards, Geoff Thompson <gthompso@nortel.com> |
