Netlogo request for participation

[Stephen Guerin]

Uri and the team developing Netlogo are working on a *great* new  
feature to Netlogo that will let folks have distributed applet clients  
to a single simulation. They need more users to test the feature. If  
you have time tomorrow 2:30p and 3p Santa Fe (MST), please beam into:
   Friday at 3:30 CST.  URL - http://monk.ccl.northwestern.edu/~hubnet/OBONU-client.html
   Friday at 4 CST - http://bughunt.ccl.northwestern.edu/~hubnet/OBONU-client.html

>> Hello netlogo-users,
>>
>> I am writing to ask for your help in helping us to develop a new
>> NetLogo feature - client applets for HubNet.
>> This feature enables users to go to a web page and participate in
>> persistent simulations (i.e. simulations that remain up for users to
>> connect to over long periods of time).
>>
>> It is difficult for us to set up experimental conditions to test
>> these persistent simulations with significant numbers of users.
>> That's where your help is needed and would be greatly appreciated.
>>
>> I'd like to set up a few times where we will hold "participatory
>> events" and I ask you to go to a web page at that time and spend a
>> few minutes participating in these simulations. 15 minutes of your
>> time should be plenty to conduct a test if we have enough
>> participants. You can participate with a group of users in the same
>> room, or just come yourself and be one of many from the internet.
>> The activity we will test is called bughunt.
>>
>> We'll hold our first four events this week at:
>>
>> Tomorrow, Thursday at 11:30 AM CST. URL - http://monk.ccl.northwestern.edu/~hubnet/OBONU-client.html
>> Tomorrow, Thursday at 2:00 PM CST.   URL - http://bughunt.ccl.northwestern.edu/~hubnet/OBONU-client.html
>> Friday at 3:30 CST.  URL - http://monk.ccl.northwestern.edu/~hubnet/OBONU-client.html
>> Friday at 4 CST - http://bughunt.ccl.northwestern.edu/~hubnet/OBONU-client.html
>>
>> Note that CST is 6 hours earlier than UTC.
>>
>> To participate, please go to the URL indicated at that time at (or
>> just before) the appointed time,  login to the activity and play for
>> 15 minutes or so.
>>
>> After you participate, I'd really appreciate it if you would send a
>> message to [hidden email] letting us know how it
>> went. For example: Did it go smoothly? Was there a problem logging
>> in to the activity? Was logging in slow? (if so, please estimate
>> what response times you experienced) Was response time slow once you
>> were playing? (If so, please estimate what response times you
>> experienced).
>> We'd be interested in your feedback on any issues you saw with the
>> technology itself or with the bughunt activity.
>> Please also include in your message the type of machine and browser
>> you are using.
>>
>> Thanks and all the best,
>>
