Dear all,<br>
<br>
<br>
at this time we are planning to hold the next full NIAC meeting and code camp<br>
in Japan, before NOBUGS. We would need a full NIAC meeting; we need to<br>
elect officers and attend to some other business. From an informal survey we got<br>
the impression that few people actually intend to travel to japan. Or have serious<br>
problems to get the trip funded. Thus, in order to get a more complete picture, please<br>
answer this question:<br>
<br>
<br>
* Are you going to travel to Japan to attend NIAC and/or NOBUGS?<br>
<br>
<br>
It also seems that our american partners will have trouble getting travel funded<br>
for the foreseeable future. A possible alternative would be to hold virtual NIAC<br>
meetings via some teleconferencing setup. This would also open up the possibility<br>
to hold NIAC meetings more often in order to speed up our response time. Thus,<br>
another question?<br>
<br>
* How open are you to the idea of having virtual NIAC meetings? Will you be able to<br>
participate?<br>
<br>
The tech sub committee will start evaluating the necessary technology. If you know of any<br>
free or commercial teleconferencing system which works nicely across continents, please<br>
let us know. So far we have Google Hangout, Skype group meetings and Adobe Connect on<br>
our list of things to evaluate.<br>
<br>
<br>
Best Regards,<br>
<br>
