INTEROP plus NETWORLD Doin's

THE BOF

Cornell will be presenting a BOF on CU-SeeMe at the Interop+Networld Conference in Las Vegas, Nevada on Wednesday, March 29th from 7:30 - 9:30 pm in pavilion 2 of the Las Vegas Hilton. Attendence is open to everyone. You do NOT have to be a conference attendee to come to the BOF. We Want You!!!

Dick Cogger and Martyne Hallgren plus a few other folk from the CU-SeeMe Development Team will be there. You will get to hear and ask questions about the latest technical features. You will learn about the CU-SeeMe Consortium and hear the latest news about licensing. WEAR YOUR CU-SeeMe T-SHIRT and be eligible for a drawing for a CU-SeeMe-supported Video Camera.

(If you want a CU-SeeMe T-Shirt, you must buy one BEFORE the conference - an order form will be posted in a separate message.)

INFO+REFLECTOR ON THE SHOW FLOOR

In January, the interop.net folk said they would again be installing a CU-SeeMe reflector for use during the exhibit. Of course, the Cornell reflector will also be up and running.

To assist the organizations that plan on showing CU-SeeMe in their booths, we have created "CU-SeeMe Sticky Pads" - post-it notepads showing the ftp and web site addresses - that you can give away to anyone wishing more information on CU-SeeMe. If you will send us your name, company name, and the contact person at your booth and email address, of course ;-), we'll make sure you have these in hand when the exhibit opens Tuesday morning.

(Please send requests for CU-SeeMe Sticky Pads to:

CU-SeeMe CONSORTIUM

After a few fits and starts and some reorganization, I'm happy to announce that the CU-SeeMe Consortium is alive and well and growing. What, you may ask, is the CU-SeeMe Consortium? and how can I join??

The Cornell CU-SeeMe Consortium is a broad-based affiliates program that provides resources to the CU-SeeMe project to research, develop and deliver innovative solutions for real-time multiparty videoconferencing on the Internet and to improve communication and technology transfer between Consortium members. The Consortium will...

- -> Foster professional collaboration between the CU-SeeMe developers and Consortium members
- -> Provide an open forum for discussion of issues affecting rapid deployment of affordable desktop conferencing software on the Internet
- -> Support widespread user experience to generate knowledge useful in creating the next generation of network infrastructure
- -> Lead a network-based social experiment of global proportions reaching into education, telemedicine, business, and disenfranchised populations, potentially changing the way "business as usual" is carried out

Membership is open to all organizations with an interest in affordable, real-time conferencing technologies on the Internet. To join, a member must sign a cooperative agreement and contribute to the CU-SeeMe Consortium.

The Consortium will be announcing its founding members in a press release at I+N and during the BOF. If you wish to join, please contact Martyne Hallgren at martyne@cornell.edu.

SEE YOU IN LAS VEGAS.
