|
| 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.
| | === Socials brainstorming: Fall or winter === |
| | -Murder mystery. The host needs to buy a kit at a gaming store to get the event started. |
|
| |
|
| 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.
| | -Jim Henderson, "Silicon Valley" documentary |
|
| |
|
| Work in 3D. Organize in 3D, build in 3D, present and interact in 3D
| | -Bowlocity laser tag. 5-6 people minimum needed. |
|
| |
|
| | -Liquid nitrogen ice cream. This needs a non-Tina organizer. Dennis DeLorme has 2 recipes. We need safety equipment and someone trained enough to keep us from freezing ourselves. |
|
| |
|
| We'll also go over topics for future meetings...Need some ideas? [http://www.k-lug.org/index.php?title=Meetings&action=submit#Requested_topics_list Here are topics] your fellow K-LUGgers have requested.

| === 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
