Remote Instrumentation & Data Visualizations Working Group

Hi All,

Happy 2005! Hope this message finds you well and that you had good 
holidays...

I wanted to pick up the thread on Jason delivery using Internet2 from 
where George left off with this last spring and try to get an update on 
interest from organizations in your states for Pat Shea to pass along 
to the Jason Foundation folks.

We have some organizations here that had hoped to receive the Jason 
expedition broadcast using their Internet2 connections. In conversation 
with Pat today, Jason is working to figure out the best way to provide 
this for the handful of sites that have expressed interest to date. 
There is some question as to whether there is enough interest out there 
so any feedback you can provide will go a long way toward whether this 
becomes a nationally accessible project using Internet2.

It would be really helpful to give Pat a sense of how many schools, 
libraries, museums or science centers in your region would be 
interested in receiving Jason using Internet2. He's interested in those 
sites that are new to Jason as well as previous Jason sites that would 
prefer to get it by I2 rather than satellite. Please get in touch with 
Pat Shea at  or 310-399-2846 to let him know of your 
interest.

Also, if anyone would like to partner on creating some exciting Virtual 
Argonaut post-expedition activities I'd be interested. Please contact 
me directly.

Best,
Jennifer
