[MCN-L] FREE online/SL conference
Hi folks, I pitched this conference a couple weeks ago and wanted to share this updated information since there will be some presence in SL as well as near-hi def video streaming and a couple technology superstars involved. IT IS FREE. I think the topics covered are of significant interest to the museum community, but almost more importantly, the content, messages and insights are coming from outside the museum community...from/to the higher education community with which museum technologists share more inherent kinship than is usually recognized. I hope most of us agree that visitors from beyond our galaxy may prove very worthwhile. Thoughts on my premise or the event itself, now or post-event are welcome here or off list. Thanks. So here, from Case Western Reserve Colleagues and friends -- We're nearly sold out (250 free lunches;-) for the upcoming Collaborative Technology and Community Engagement Summit being held at Case Western Reserve University's Thwing Center on May 8th from 9 - 4. At 9 am OneCommunity unveils the new and expanded University Circle wireless mesh Live throughout University Circle, parts of East Cleveland, Cleveland Heights, and Cleveland The program features the (co)author of Wikinomics (http://www.wikinomics.com) as our lunchtime (free) keynote (Anthony Williams) and Cory Ondrejka (founder of Second Life) and more than 16 breakout sessions and 40 speakers and demonstrations. President Barbara Snyder will be offering remarks following the keynote. Registration and up to date programing information is available at http://www.case.edu/its/collabtech08/collabtech08.html For those unable to attend in person, you can participate in SecondLife http://slurl.com/secondlife/ClevelandPlus/184/107/24 once you've created your avatar (instructions available http://www.case.edu/its/services/documents/SlClevelandPLusIntro.pdf) We will also be streaming much of the event (see program for times) in new near-high definition streaming (H264) at http://mediavision.case.edu/H264/caselive.html CollabTech 08 is sponsored by Case Western Reserve University's Information Technology Services, University Libraries, UCITE, Office of the Provost, Human Resources, Council of Technology Officers, and Faculty Senate Committee on Information Resources. CollabTech08 is made possible through generous contributions of OneCommunity, Dell Computers, Apple Computers, PerceptIS, Mobile Discovery, IBM, EMC, and Cisco Systems.

They don't offer a streaming option that doesn't involve creating an avatar?

[MCN-L] FREE online/SL conference
In case there was confusion, the streaming much of the event (see program for times) in new near-high definition streaming (H264) at http://mediavision.case.edu/H264/caselive.html does not require any virtual world participation.
