"CAMP", to be held Feb. 1 - 3 in Tempe, Arizona, and described

registration found at
http://www.internet2.edu/activities/html/camp-02.html
 will close at 5:00 pm EST on January 10, and if space is still
available at that time, we will begin to process individuals (generally,
multiples from one campus) who have been placed on the wait list. 
Any late registrations would be accepted on a limited basis, again
dependent on space availability.

If you have any questions or desire additional information, please

Hope to see you there.

Subject: Information on middleware "camp"

This is an invitation for university IT architects to attend a “camp” (Campus Architects for Middleware Planning) to share information about emerging areas in higher education middleware. This multi-day meeting, facilitated by Internet2, is intended to exchange news and views on directories, security, privacy, distributed computing systems, etc.  Discussions will target on many of the major middleware activities within our community, including the NSF initiative, new PKI efforts, video middleware, Shibboleth, Grids, etc. Birds of a Feather at night will allow us to explore some of the territory that lies ahead.

CAMP will be held in Tempe, Arizona, beginning mid-afternoon on Friday February 1, 2002 and running fairly intensively through noon Sunday February 3, 2002.  A following session Sunday afternoon will focus on Grid computing and how to integrate it into enterprise and desktop environments. Due to hotel limitations and our desire to foster effective exchanges, the number of  participants is being limited to one per campus with a cap of 140. Institutions that wish to send additional participants should send a note to Renee Frost (); if there are spaces available when registration closes on January 10, 2002, we will contact people on the waiting list immediately to let them know if they can be accommodated.  A registration fee of $150 is being used to partially defray the costs of the meeting.

More information on the middleware camp can be found at http://www.internet2.edu/activities/html/camp-02.html. A draft agenda, registration form and lodging information are at that site. 

We hope that many of you will join us in Tempe for what should be an interesting and informative series of discussions.
                Ken
