I hope the summer has left you well refreshed and rejuvenated.   Just
a quick note to let everyone know our group is still alive and
kicking!  We'll restart out monthly meetings on October 16th (2pm
Eastern) with the following proposed agenda:

and the opportunities for libraries to participate.

+ Don Means, Digital Village - Don will brief the group on the
“Gigabit Libraries Network” (GLN)
  -  "GLN envisions an open global relationship network of gig-ready
and gig-aspiring library facilities, systems or consortia cooperating
as a distributed development, testbed and showcase environment for
high performance applications that utilize big bandwidth to serve an
array of educational, civic and cultural purposes."

+ Judy Graves, Library of Congress, will provide an overview of the
videoconferencing programming and other resources available to
libraries.  There will be opportunities to ask
questions and brainstorm possibilities. (TENTATIVE)
