Subject: NSF GENI: your opportunity to influence it and time to plan for
your participation 




Folks,


I am pleased to let you know that a very comprehensive document that
outlines the conceptual design and project execution plan is available for
your consideration. Please note that this document has been prepared by the
planning group (www.geni.net). 


Why should you care? 


  o GENI represents one of the most important and ambitious initiatives
being planned by NSF CISE for its communities. 


  o This is your opportunity to influence the GENI facility definition.
Please note that this document represents just a conceptual design and is a
snapshot that is expected to evolve with the best ideas from you and others
in the community. The planning group as well as NSF are very interested in
hearing how we can make this better and more suitable for your research
experimentation needs.  So don't be shy and share your best thinking.


  o Please do read Section 6 that outlines various components that will make
up the facility and tasks that will have to be funded. If you have
aspirations to  help build the GENI facility (and win $$), you can see
opportunities for teams with diverse set of skills and expertise -- of
course a team has to be able to "deliver" real operational systems for
deployment in the facility. 


  o Please also read Section 7.1 that outlines expected process of making
awards for building different parts of the facility via an open and review
process with an oversight by NSF.  We are a couple of years from actually
starting to build the facility, but something to think and get ready for. 


Hope this helps. Please don't hesitate to share your input and best ideas
with the planning group and/or NSF.

Subject: [Discuss] GENI snapshot


The full document prepared by the GENI planning group is
now available on-line. (Visit www.geni.net and see the first
announcement.)


This is a snapshot of an evolving document, prepared for the
"Conceptual Design Stage" of the NSF process. This document
will undergo significant refinement over the next year based
on community feedback. Posting comments to this mailing list
is a great way to get that process started.


Larry
