[Imc-tech] Re: Hello from the Urbana-Champaign IMC

[Sascha Meinrath]

Hi John,

Great to hear that Bloomington, IN is building an IMC!  Though I know some 
basic tech-stuff, it's not my strong suite.  The best tech-ies at the UCIMC 
can be found on our tech e-mail list: tech at ucimc.org

I would recommend asking questions there (e.g. who would be a good liaison 
for you on specific tasks, how do you solve "X" problem).  Depending on 
what the nature of the problem you want solved, you'll want to talk with 
different folks.  But definitely keep in touch with us and let us know how 
we can help you out.  Our tech team has already conquered many of the 
problems IMC's face in getting themselves set up, so hopefully we'll be 
able to  save you a good deal of grief through what we've learned along the 
way.

Take care and keep in touch,
