RFC 537

RFC 537: Announcement of NGG meeting-JULY 16-17 🎀

okay bestie, let's start with the title block 📋 This is RFC 537 from the Network Working Group, written by S. Bunch of ILL-ANTS (NIC 17498), dated 27 June 1973. The original doesn't list a category, and it doesn't obsolete or update any other RFC 💅

The NGG meeting date that was proposed as 16-JULY-73 is officially confirmed ✨ It's happening at the University of Illinois on July 16 and 17 🎉 There's also an informal meeting on Sunday evening, July 15, to sort out the agenda 📝

The first meeting place is:

Room 201, Advanced Computation Building

1101 W. Springfield

Urbana, Ill.

If they need more room, later meetings might happen somewhere else 🏫

James Michener says everyone should read his RFC 493 on graphics protocols before showing up 📚 He's giving main character energy 🦋

For hotel stuff, you can book at the Ramada Inn by calling (800)648-5970 (their tool-free number) or the local Inn at (217)352-7891 🏨 If you want to make other plans, message Steve and he'll try to help 🫶

For flights, your best bet is your local airline office ✈️ Jim suggested that Steve warn Ozark (the local service) about the coming wave of non-student, non-standby passengers so they might give better service 🙈 Unfortunately, Ozark is in the middle of a pilot strike, so Steve hasn't been able to do that yet 😭

ngl, the strike is the only drama here. If it's still going when you book, grab the closest flight you can and rent a car for the rest of the trip. It'll probably be sorted out before it causes any hassle, but Steve figured you'd want to know just in case 💀

Steve also wants a rough headcount, so if you're planning to come, please let him know if you can 🥹

Steve can usually be reached at (217)333-9354, preferably in the afternoon ☀️ He's out July 2-6, so during that time, Nancy Freece at (217)333-7161 will take messages 💌 Network mail gets read first (also during JULY 2-6) if you send it to user BUNCH at site USC-ISI 📬 His mailing address is:

Steve Bunch
Center for Advanced Computation, Room 208
University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
Urbana, Ill. 61801
