| Why use 3D for Meetings?
| | [https://us04web.zoom.us/j/71107225798?pwd=duL4JavI8eklmAgVNaDch8kBllLxUf.1 Meeting link] |
|
| |
|
| Meetings are about people getting together to do things - with 3D meetings you see all the others as avatars throughout the meeting.
| | Anything else you want to see on the agenda? Let us know. |
|
| |
|
| Social interactions are more natural with avatars. The expressiveness of avatars help co-workers communicate in a natural and personal way that helps them get to know each other - leading to more trust and better collaboration.
| |
|
| |
|
| Work in 3D. Organize in 3D, build in 3D, present and interact in 3D

| === Annual Holiday Party / Game Night: Thursday December 10th ===
| | Jon Gullixson: gnucash or www :: Mechanize |
| In the past our holiday party has occurred at Pwned (now closed), Area51, or as a LAN party. This year we're having a board/card game night at Tina's house. We'll play whatever you bring (zombies aka Last Night on Earth, Arkanam Horror, RoboRally, many versions of Munchkin, Fluxx and The Great Space Race have all made previous appearances). There's also a Wii with 2 Wii controlers and 3 GameCube controlers, if you wanted to bring Wii/GameCube games and additional controllers. We also need a couple people to bring folding tables and chairs, and some to bring snack foods/beverages. Please RSVP using the wiki, including what you plan to bring.

| === Upcoming Meeting Crisis! ===
| |
| Well, not really a crisis, but we do need some meeting topics (& speakers) for 2010. We'd like to know what you want to see and hear about. Please email Tina or Tim with suggestions for topics. Should we run some previous sessions again (maybe something you really wanted to see but missed out on)? What type of topics are good, what type are bad? Also don't forget, Speakers earn up to $40 as an incentive for their presentation! Also see this page for a list of suggested topics http://www.k-lug.org/Meetings
