The conferences site has been integrated with the Berkeley Lab Identity (LDAP)  Any LBL employee should be able to login using this userid/password.  External Users who want to submit an abstract or otherwise work on content with a collaborator at the lab will have to request a local account.  We are targeting a one day turn around to active these local accounts.

Bugs related to 'Materials' in the creation of events and the display of rooms in each location are now fixed.

If you notice any problem related to this or anything else please email [email protected] 

Thanks

(1) dates are in European syntax  DD/MM/YR
in the US, it is usaully  MM/DD/YY, so it is confusing  to see 6/1/12 and remember the event is for january 6 and not June 6

(2) Not clear how people are supposed to submit abstracts - are they expected to ask for an account, have the admin "activate" it, and then have permission to do something with a proposal or a paper?

(3)  Not clear how the LDAP integration is working.  Seems like it wants to have you put in a userid/pw as a local user.

(4) where do announcements show up?

(5) can we brand this with the lbl logo somehow?  also the link on the header takes you to cern.
