<br>
Met with the UCD Director of Communications Resources, the Director of the Network Operations Center, and 3 of the senior network operations staff.<br>
<br>
They are good with the project, and have offered to "help" The form this help could come in, would be coming to City council,<br>
Volunteering to do an outreach event, and interconnecting with us on completion of course.<br>
<br>
If anyone else can think of other ways they might be able to "help" let us know.<br>
<br>
So cautiously optimistic that a major instituational partner for this<br>
would be "on board"<br>
<br>
