** In the invitation sent out prior to the 25-Oct-2007 there will be a statement asking the participants to check whether they are having problems with firewalls.  Individual follow ons will be arranged for people who cannot participate fully because of firewall issues. 
** The invitation will mention that the tutorial will last 1.5 to 2 hours. 
** (a) The initiative as a whole will be introduced at the tutorial.  This will be taken from the objectives of the initiative.  This will be done by Peter and Jeanne to be posted as other presentations are posted. 
*** post-meeting comment: I suggest we just do a brief intro at this session, and save the full introduction of the [[OKMDS]] initiative to the 2007.11.08 OKMDS Launch Event. I suppose we should focus this session on helping potential participants who would like to explore and participate in the mini-series via "Second Life."  --ppy/2007.10.21
