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.
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.

Planned Technical Meeting: Thursday February 9th
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.

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
