Wendy Weblips reports: Festival Day, Armley Mills

Johnson space center-Thought

Johnson space center-Thought it might be interesting to continue our work with NASA, as
each center runs its own outreach efforts voip.
Presidential libraries- Many of these are now connected. Might be interesting to hear from
LBJ, Bush, etc.
How technology is being applied toward connecting border families- Several universities and k12 districts had innovative education programs that helped students stay engaged while in transit, particularly those students whose families were migrant workers high speed internet service.
Other Texas applications or resources, projects we might highlight?
Gary Bachula Stimulus broadband $ update

Ocean Observatories (John Delaney)- The OCI program now has been funded by NSF and there is activity
around the country. Time to check back in?
NSDL- National Science Digital Library
Gwen Jacobs projects - iPlant- My thinking here was to engage one or more of the big NSF "grand challenge" programs. iPlant is one of those (plant genomics and cyberinfrastructure). All have edu-programs aimed at both higher ed
and k12.

Follow up on climate theme My thinking here was to engage one or more of the big NSF "grand challenge" programs. iPlant is one of those (plant genomics and cyberinfrastructure). All have edu-programs aimed at both higher ed
and k12 colocation hosting.
K-20 Middleware - NC pilot project report

Cisco Telepresence presentation- I've been working with Cisco on TP and am impressed w/Cisco's efforts here, in Web 2.0 (including desktop vc), etc. Might be worth hearing from them.
Merit's new technical model (unlimited bandwidth pricing by institution size not bitrate used)

What does the Cloud mean for K-20? Seems like an auspicious moment for us to engage the Cloud community unix hosting
