day, everywhere.
Because this is the 10th Megaconference, some very special things
will happen then that have not occurred in previous Megaconferences.
The Megaconference is the largest video conference in the world, with
many hundreds of participants from all over the world.
You are cordially invited to submit a proposed interactive
presentation for this event. Presentations may be on any topic of
general interest, but those which demonstrate new or novel
applications of video conferencing technology, or promote world
togetherness and understanding are especially encouraged.
Presentations are normally about 15 minutes long, but exceptions can
be made.
Presentations should be interactive, involving more than one
location. But musical and other performances involving only one
site are also desired. You can get an idea of the kinds of
presentations done in the past by seeing last years abstracts at
http://www.digitalunion.osu.edu/megaconference/megaconference9/abstract.html#iportal
Presentations should include interesting video materials, preferably
live, and not just talking heads.
You need access to H.323 or compatible video conferencing equipment,
and sufficient bandwidth to provide good quality video. You need not
be connected to Internet2. There is no cost to participate.
Rehearsals will be scheduled for all presentations.
To submit a proposal, send me a paragraph describing your
presentation. All proposals must be received by August 1, but please
don't wait until the last minute. Early proposals will be looked
upon fondly.
The Megaconference is supported by the Internet2 Commons, by many
volunteers around the world, and many organizations and manufacturers
and vendors and dealers.
Please forward this Call to any persons or lists you feel might be interested.
Apologies if you receive duplicate copies of this message.
Thanks!
Bob
