SameTime 3D allows users to collaborate via voice, textchat, avatars and various meeting specific tools. Upload a presentation and invite others to join you in a virtual 3D meeting space.
Celebrate the Chinese New Year by going out for Chinese with your fellow K-LUGgers.  The Chinese New Year is actually on Valentine's Day this year, which I figured was asking for trouble for trying to get enough seats in a restaurant, so we'll probably go a week late.  ~6 pm, probably at the Hunan, 844 South Broadway near Kmart.


Why use 3D for Meetings?


Meetings are about people getting together to do things - with 3D meetings you see all the others as avatars throughout the meeting.

Chris Abbey on digital photo processing.  Those of you who went on the October social photowalks, send your pictures to Chris in advance or bring them to the meeting.  Culling is the first step, so don't feel like you need to reduce in advance the pictures you took.
 
Also, PCIG nominations.
 
 
=== Lunch:  Thursday February 18th ===

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

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
