Slow connection 8/23 11am

Sorry about the slow/frozen audio/video/pres. Dimdim seems to be slow right now. We'll try to get the next presentations cached again and see whether that helps.

Travel note - Airport Express

Information from Joyce Kirksey and Karin Mathison on airport-to-hotel travel:

Take the Airport Express to the hotel. They are at the airport for every flight. The # is 405-681-3311. They have 24 hours service to and from the airport.

The cost is $20. You won’t need a reservation from the airport to the hotel, since a shuttle leaves about every 8 minutes. They take MC and Visa right in the shuttle. From the hotel back to the airport, you will need a reservation, which you can make from the hotel once you know how long the ride takes. It should be about a 15-20 minute ride is what they told me.

Agenda revision - communication ideas

We've made a minor revision to the agenda. The Tuesday afternoon General Sharing session has a suggested topic to get us started: ideas for improving communication within the data collector community. Email, information distribution, working collaboratively - anything is fair game. Whether you think something's working well, or especially if you don't, we'd be glad to hear from you.

Web conference practice sessions: Aug 20,

Claude will be hosting 2 practice sessions for the web conferencing software on Thursday, August 20: one at 10 am EDT, and the other at 3 pm EDT. Email him if you want to be included but haven't signed up yet.

Agenda Revision - Web session numbers

The agenda has been updated to include a column showing which web conference sessions will be associated with each on-site session.

Agenda revision - no call center visit

We had to delete the "Visit to Oklahoma Call Center" from the agenda, due to lack of available transportation. We'll change the 4:45-5:15 pm time to Open Discussion instead. The updated listing is posted in the links to the right.
