Dear potential GLIF-demo participants,

I'm writing this mail as person responsible for coordination of demos
during the 7th GLIF workshop in Prague, and on behalf of all CESNET
organizers...

We would like to hear from you if you are interested in making a demo
show during the GLIF workshop. We'll be very pleased if you decide show
the demo, of course. Unfortunately, we have only very limited knowledge
of the demos that are being prepared at the moment. It's essential for
us collect information about all the planned demos...  and that's the
reason for this email.

As mentioned above, we'll be very happy to support each demo, but
because of workshop venue is inside a historic building (see
http://www.ces.net/glif2007/venue/ ), there will be some restrictions
and limitations.  The demo show-floor area is relatively small (see
http://www.ces.net/glif2007/prog/demo-area.html ) and thus we prefer the
demos that have smaller footprint on the site.  It means no giant tiled
screen walls (though small ones can be supported), no big clusters of
PCs and so on. This doesn't apply for 'CineGrid' demo which will take
place at different location.  Please keep this restrictions in mind
during the demo planning. The show floor is small and we would like
accommodate all demos.

On site preparation of demos will be possible from Saturday (September
15th), 18:00 local time (CEST). I know, it's very limited amount of time
but we have no choice as there is another meeting there preceding ours.
Good news is you can work on preparation continuously - means also over
the nights from Saturday to Sunday and from Sunday to Monday.

It's assumed that hardware for every demo will be self-covered by each
participant. CESNET has very limited possibilities to provide some
devices for the demo purposes. Of course, we'll do our best for helping
you with your demo preparation, we will bring power supply cables,
optical patch cords and so on. But if you want any devices like PCs or
LCDs from us, it needs to be negotiated in advance. Hardware needs for
each demo will be solved separately.

So, first of all, we need to get an idea, how many demos will be in
Prague, who will be responsible for each of them and also their general
equipment needs. In order to facilitate this, we prepared a simple
questionnaire which is located below.  Please fill in this form out if
you have intent to do some demo at the GLIF workshop in Prague and send
it at GLIFDEMO@xxxxxxxxx. DEADLINE for demo application is August 17th 2007.
