please dont plug accessgrid any more, you have suggested this on many emails and i know it may be in good faith but we have spent lots of time on various different lists discussing this. the meeting will take place on irc, most probably #wikimania2008 or #wikimania2009 (not yet decided). for people not used to irc this can be accessed by going to http://wikimania2008.wikimedia.org/wiki/IRC and choosing wikimania planning channel.
thanks

Cary,
Received your mail about Wikimania 2008 meetings, although being naïve, I don't know where. I guess you'll be informing us of an IRC channel.
In an attempt at improving the Foundation's communications, can I make a suggestion?
You probably don't know about the Accessgrid community. HYPERLINK "http://www.accessgrid.org/community%22http://www.accessgrid.org/community
Accessgrid is like Skypecast will be when it grows up.
Can I suggest that you might try a little outreach, and ask the guys if they'd like to host a couple of sessions?
They don't have nodes everywhere, HYPERLINK "http://www.accessgrid.org/nodes%22http://www.accessgrid.org/nodes (this is a limited list)
but I'm sure it would be a good introduction to having them think about linking up when the conference is on.
When I talk about virtual classrooms, this is big brother. When I talk about global libraries Wikipedia is its encyclopaedia.
One without the other is a bit dumb, don't you think?
Regsrds,simon
