OUTREACH -- C/C

Since our primary effort this year focused on the Tango Interactive
electronic collaboration system for use in education and training our
outreach efforts focused on enlarging the base of knowlegable and
experienced users of the system as a base to help support broader
deployment of the tools.  We conducted tutorials on Tango Interactive
and its use in distance training and education at the DoD HPC User
Group Conference in Monterey, CA, as well as a workshop on Distance
Training at the ERDC MSRC and one on Distance Education at Jackson
State University.  We also conducted a training class in Syracuse in
conjunction with the release of Tango Interactive 2.0 aimed at on-site
support staff.  We also presented a tutorial on Java at the DoD HPC
User Group Conference.

Tango Interactive itself has been used to help reach out to additional
users as well.  Syracuse's Geoffrey Fox presented a seminar to all
four MSRCs using Tango, and PET partners Ohio Supercomputer Center and
National Center for Supercomputer Applications used Tango Interactive
to offer a total of four PET training events to a wider audience.  In
addition, Syracuse offered two semester-long academic credit classes
to a combination of DoD and academic sites, including all four MSRCs
and the Naval Research Lab Distributed Center, Jackson State
University, Mississippi State University, and Morgan State University.
