Anjum is at UM. ~~He does have access to the Internet from the Lab but its a shared place and he cannot attend meetings while in the Lab. For meetings, either he shall attend it from his home, or from the common room of the building.
- Johari proposes that UTM host a PingER workshop in 2014, maybe associated with another conference.
UTM volunteered to host the workshop last year. Due to the lack of funding from UTM, UM hosted it. Hanan believes the constraint is the budget. After knowing how can we fund the workshop, then we can decide who will the host the workshop.
Adib suggested a summer school that is aimed at graduate students and researchers from different disciplines where everyone needs to be present for team presentations based on case studies/assignments given to each team. Each team will be mentored by one professional researcher (from PingER Current Member) to guide and advise. The Summer School activities will include: Keynote talk, Presentations on current projects related to Pinger that open up challenges for students to solve and address, and case studies (assignments based on the presentations) for each team of students.
- Johari talked to Adib who is interested in hosting the workshop at UUM. They believe that with Anjum in Malaysia, the main cost is for Les. Johari shared the information from the previous 2 workshops and it is believed it is good value for money. Given this, it appears the funding required is achievable. There may also be a possibility for a presentation by Les to a more public audience at the ITU Research Center, as well as the possibility of getting sponsors and requiring a registration fee for private sector people. Adib will put together a proposal and take it to the UUM Vice Chancellor.
