You are invited to attend the Merit NSFNET Technical Seminar, to be held September 21 and 22, 1992 in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Enclosed at the end of this note is the agenda. Please note that we are still confirming some of the panelists and we may be adding another topic. You will be receiving a final agenda down the road abit. As an added feature this time around we will be providing a box lunch from Ann Arbor's famed Zingermans deli. However, because of this it is extremely important for all who plan on joining us for lunch to RSVP *before* Wed September 16th. To RSVP send your confirmation to nsf-seminar@merit.edu along with the following pieces of information. -Will you need access to the Internet while here? -Do you plan on driving to Merit (ie: do you need a University of Michigan parking permit)? -Will you be partaking in lunch with us on Monday? -If yes to lunch, do you want vegetarian? (The vegetarian lunch we are ordering contains cheese. Let me know individually if your diet can not accomodate this.) Please note that registration will take place between 9am and 9:45am on Monday, with coffee, donuts, muffins, etc. being served during this time. For those not attending the sessions on Monday morning you may register as you arrive. Allow extra time for this. Here are two suggestions for housing in the Ann Arbor area. The Campus Inn is located about a block from the University's main campus and is very close to both city and campus bus lines. The Red Roof Inn is located near the highway leading from the airport and near Merit, but is not located on any city or campus bus lines.
