Bebo, possible interest in an MA in Jordan - 10/9/2018. It is a university of Science and Technology.

• Bebo sent the Home page: http://www-iepm.slac.stanford.edu/pinger/, plus  Remote Host site invitation letter template, Monitor Host site invitation letter template:(txt, doc), form to register a host to the contact.  
• Dr Shadi Aljawarneh (<shadi.jawarneh@yahoo.com> skype ID shadi Jawarneh) is unable to attend this week. He has been out of the country, since a week for a program collaboration in India and is busy during next days in this program. It is possible that his students are working on installing the PingER MA. If possible, one of his students could join the upcoming meetings. We sent an invite.

• At the previous meeting we discussed the many uses of PingER data including:
  • the impact on network performance of events such as earthquakes, tsunamis, civil uprisings, the world cup, 
  • exploring the data semantically e.g. byLinked Open Data
  • Correlations with other indices such as economics, human development.
• We also discussed:
  •  development of new low cost, low power PingER Measurement Agents (MA) utilizing Android devices.
  • the possibilities of developing/utilizing a decentralized logging/analysis/presentation structure using BlockChain. This would reduce the dependence on SLAC.
