Details can be found on the club website http://owatonnacc.org

Celebrate the Chinese New Year by going out for Chinese with your fellow K-LUGgers.

Olmsted County Fair night!  6 pm.


-> '''When:''' Thursday Jan 14th, 6-7:30pm
My experience with going on Monday night last year was that on-site parking was easy and free, some of the food trucks were open (including the milkshake stand), and many of the animals were already present including horse showings.  I’ve also been told that many craft projects will already be present, so we can do a scavenger hunt for projects by people we know.

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?  
Anything else you want to see on the agenda? Let us know.


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


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.
