SOHO Daily Meeting Minutes for Wednesday, 29 August 2001
ANNOUNCEMENTS
-------------
* Normal Center telephone services (286 exchanges) will be completely
unavailable from 6:00 pm on Friday, August 31, 2001, through 11:59 pm
on Monday, September 3, 2001.
Our building will be one of the first to be brought back up, so by
midnight on Friday we should have working phones again and can receive
and make outside calls. However, on-campus dialing will not be
available until the entire cutover is complete.
If you have an instrument emergency during that weekend and cannot
reach the SOHO FOT, contact the SOC at home (Joan: 410-531-3360,
Emily: 410-451-1402, Stein: 410-997-8102) and the SOC will call
the FOT OE's.
Visitors will not be allowed on base that weekend. All SOHO people
with badges will be allowed on base. If you are on base and there is
an emergency, call the emergency number 301-474-7075. The payphone
in our building will work.
