Note on Virtual Participation Techniques in Use

A mixture of techniques is being used to provide the SORASC09 workshop to virtual participants from the Whole of Society approach for Crises Response (WoSCR) community. This includes the use of Second Life as a virtual world (VW) 3D meeting space relaying the video and audio from the event via Apple Quicktime media streaming, and sessions using CMU's "CourseCast" system.

This event for virtual participants uses early stage availability of the Open Virtual Collaboration Environment facilities and should be considered as an experiment. The organizers will try to provide the meeting content to participants as well as can be arranged on the day. Current status will be posted here, and via Twitter with tag #openvce.

We appreciate that some of you may not have permissions to install software, browser plugins, or that firewall issues could cause problems. Please e-mail "Skye Gears" <skye.gears@googlemail.com> (our virtual meeting assistant) and she will try to help, or point you at potential alternatives to get the most out of what you have available.
