The tool: Teamspeak Teamspeak is a software application for online meetings. This makes it possible to split the group during a discussion, so smaller groups can talk things over separately, or to hold different meetings at the same time. Teamspeak seems to work better at low bandwidth than Skype, although the quality of the sound can be reduced. The next interview took place at July 3, 2006 with Dorine Ruter from ETC. Meeting at a distance “Over a year ago the programme committee of The programme has to be downloaded and installed on every user’s computer, and another application: the server application, has to be installed on a server.

In combination with the easiness of uploading it to various site, and the possibility of tagging and blogging these video productions, it is a powerful way of bringing people closer together. Step 1: Attend the meeting or listen to the presentation you want to vlog Don’t video the whole meeting or the whole presentation. Hence you have to attend the meeting and listen carefully to what is said. I developed a 12-step vlogging process to help a network in Ghana ( GINKS ) produce an ICT4D stories blog. They were amazed that it is so easy to do, easier than maintaining a

Throughout the year  I’m involved in quite a few conferences and meetings. Financially, meeting organizers have serious concerns. One of my core communities of practice, KM4Dev , just had a call to discuss how we could meet, and scuttle our more ambitious S. love meeting face to face. This year, the ground is shifting. Travel budgets are being slashed (faster here than in Europe as far as I can tell) and people are starting to think more seriously about the non financial costs such as carbon emissions of the travel and the plain old wear and tear on our bodies traveling

I've known about the TimeBridge meeting scheduling service since a quiet off-the-record conversation at the Collaborative Technologies Conference in June 2005 in New York, but it's been a while since I looked at what the company is up to. As with the other meeting scheduling services I've written about recently, TimeBridge is designed to help people reduce the time and pain involved in getting a meeting scheduled. How TimeBridge Works Without Without installing the software and trying it first-hand (which is the step that comes next) here's the overview of how TimeBridge

Institutional entities, like the House Information Resources, appear aware of the need for guidance and are slowly making progress to meeting this need with new rules/policies. Last weekend, Forum One participated in CongressCamp at George Washington University. CongressCamp was an unconference focused on the Congress side of Gov 2.0.

Yesterday I went out with the GINKS secretariat to meet Emmanuel K. forgot to ask whether the Ghanaian bloggers ever meet. Bensah , one of the most fanatic bloggers in Ghana. I met Emmanuel through his blog.

One of the highlights for me of the social media event that we hosted together with Genius Rocket and Kickapps (5 May at the Harvard Club, New York) was meeting so many people whom I’d only connected with previously through Twitter. It was great to put real names to Twitter names, and faces to tweets – and that in itself goes a long way to defining what social media is all about. It was a huge success, with lots of positive feedback - so much so, that we’re thinking about doing something similar again. Thanks very much to all the people who came along – around 100 people in

Last month, I was too busy to blog some of the meeting sI attended and it seems late to blog them now. So let me be a good blogger today and blog the meeting I attended today with Chris Lunch from Insight on participatory video organised by CTA in Wageningen. (and and yes, in Wageningen you always meet some old faces from the good old days like Huub from World Report who still has the same sense of humour so that was fun!). I have been busy with vlogging, but had not explored the link with participatory video, hence I was looking forward to this meeting. My assumption

Doodle is an online polling / survey-type service that can be used for scheduling meetings and events. The basic idea is that you create a poll that specifies when you can meet (days and times), and then you ask other people when they could come to your meeting (by sending them an email, with a link to the poll). They click the meeting times that they can attend, and leave the rest. All participants can see entries that have previously been submitted by other people, thus helping with the social cues around setting up a meeting. When setting up the meeting
