proposal for grid and agents talk in GGF14 community track

[Julie Wulf-Knoerzer]

Dear David,
I have scheduled this session for Tuesday, June 28th, from 6:30p - 7:15p 
(immediately before the 'Supporting New Communities Panel' that Geoffrey 
Fox is organizing).  I have summarized your proposal on our website 
<http://www.ggf.org/ggf_events_next_schedule.htm> - please let me know if 
this is okay with you.
I will keep you posted with further logistical details as they become 
available.  In the meantime, please let me know if you have questions.
Regards,
Julie

P.S.  As stated in the Call for Community Participation, please note that 
slides must be provided in advance (June 17th) for the GGF14 website.
