| The featured speakers this month are José de Leon of Winona State University and Bonnie Gabrick, a Winona State University student in Management Information Systems. They will talk about iPhone web development with the rapid web-development framework Ruby on Rails. Bonnie and José worked on a database-backed site in Rails, describing the technology inventory in each classroom at Winona State, and developed a mobile version of the website that exists alongside the default site. Like Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, two cool technologies that go great together!

Bring your own gloves, and anyone interested in geocaching the park can do both at the same time (plan is to get a few FTF options out of there to encourage the geocachers). Since we're participating in [http://www.rneighbors.org/?p=2688 LBB], the City provides the empty trash bags, picks up the full bags, and covers the disposal costs.

The site was built using the open-source content management system Drupal, and the talk will be more focused upon some working with some of the advanced Drupal features, and what was done with them to make the site work.

| |
| On Sunday March 7th in Owatonna, the Owatonna Curling Club will be holding an open house. This is your opportunity to see live curling, learn about curling and even try curling for free. They're no longer allowing individual small groups to come for free as Tina's taken some of you in the past, so this may be your best option. Don't forget to bring clean tennis shoes. Details can be found on the club website http://owatonnacc.org

RSVP's are due to Tina by lunchtime on Wednesday February 17th so reservations can be made.

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

|
