Dear Colleagues (Apologies if you have already received this email) To further my email in regards to obtaining ownership of an Access Grid node, I have received a number of enquires asking whether multiple people can be owners, thereby allowing a number of people the ability to change and edit an AG node details.
Unfortunately, only one registered user at www.accessgrid.org can be an owner of an AG node. Therefore, it is recommended to create an genetic account on the www.accessgrid.org website. By using a generic account, such as your local institution, you have the ability to distribute the account information to a selected few, thereby allowing a number of people the ability to edit one or more node listings. This is preferable, particularly on occasions where students and/or staff members may change on a regular basis. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me. Regards, Jason. -----Original Message----- From: Jason Bell Subject: Global Node Listing can now be found at www.accessgrid.org/nodes Dear colleagues (Apologies if you are already aware of this) I am writing this email to announce that the global AG node listing is now being housed at the www.accessgrid.org website. I have managed to transfer as much of the node listing details from the AGCentral website, in which you can view the various AG nodes listed at: www.accessgrid.org/nodes I would like to ask people to begin using this website, rather than the AG Central node listing, as that site will be removed shortly. Currently, the nodes listed have myself as the owner. To make it possible for you to edit and update "your" AG node, could you please send me personally via email, your username (for the www.accessgrid.org website) and the node you would like ownership to, so that I can transfer the node-listing to you. Please note that this may take a couple of days to process the transferring of node listing to you. With the transferring of AG node information, there may be cases where some of the information is: incorrect; out of date or simply missing; can I ask that everyone, once the ownership of the node listing has been transferred to you, go through the data and update it where possible. In addition, you can now create new Access Grid node listing by: * Logging on (as your user) by selecting the "User Account" tab found at the top of the http://www.accessgrid.org webpage. For those who are new to this website, you may have to register first; * Then simply click on the "create content" link found on the left had side of the page; * Then select "node listing"; Note: It would be greatly appreciated and valued if you can fill out as much of the content as possible. In regards to gaining GPS (Latitude and Longitude) information, you can use Google Maps to gain such information. A guide on how to do it can be found at: http://agcentral.org/help/how-to/google-gps As always, this node-listing website is under development and if you feel any improvements can be made, please don't hesitate and post an email to myself personally. Thanks very much for your time, Jason. Please feel free to pass on this email to your colleagues, especially those owners of an Access Grid Node Listing. -------------------------------------------- Jason Bell, B.I.T. B. Info. Tech.
