I have just recieved word that two of the teams participating in the GMCIA scouting network at the national competition have secured or are working to secure additional network hubs in order to allow more teams to be connected into the GMCIA network. With the numbers that I have recieved on hub size, this additional hardware will effectively double the number of available connections into the network. However, if the first 17 slots were any indication, these additional spaces(exact number still TBD) will go quickly, so send an e-mail to me at njsmith@online.emich.edu ASAP if you have not yet, and are interested in taking part in this network.

Network format:
RJ-45 Ethernet Hubs(10base-T)
System is running as a web server, using TCP/IP protocol on port 8000.

Necessary Equipment:
Computer with an Ethernet(RJ-45) port and a working web browser.
A 10-25 ft cable to connect your machine to the hub.

Data sharing Method:
Once the list of teams connecting into the GMCIA has been confirmed, a list will be generated, dividing the teams competing at Epcot among the teams participating in the network. There will be some overlap of teams, in order to get a more accurate data set. The participating teams will gather information on their assigned teams, and then return to the Command Center, where this data will be entered into the shared database. The database will be able to process the data on demand, giving you a detailed analysis of a team's strengths and weaknesses.

To sign up:
Send me an e-mail at njsmith@online.emich.edu ASAP with a list of the criteria that your scouts currently use. I will take this list and create a standard GMCIA scouting form, to avoid confusion caused by many different data sets. This form will be in MS Word format, and will be e-mailed to all team contacts once it is completed(hopefully by this weekend.)
