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.


Why use 3D for Meetings?
=== Outside Social:  Friday July 24th ===


Meetings are about people getting together to do things - with 3D meetings you see all the others as avatars throughout the meeting.  
Disc golf! Meet outside the RCTC field house, 6 pm.  Here is [http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?msid=217033483939111930234.0004a3795f42da701ae0b&msa=0&ll=44.015742,-92.422206&spn=0.003541,0.006942&iwloc=0004a37962daae4746296 a map].


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.
(I was going to have us go to the Byron disc golf course for something different, but they've apparently got wild parsnip on half the course)


Work in 3D. Organize in 3D, build in 3D, present and interact in 3D

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.
We're planning pickleball once it's cooler again.


Also, PCIG nominations.

=== Upcoming Meeting Crisis! ===
MediaWiki help [https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Text_color 1] [https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wiki_color_formatting_help 2]
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
