From: "Peter Jörgensen" To: "DCC Discussion List" Subject: Announcing Megaconference III - Oct 3 Date: Saturday, September 22, 2001 2:08 PM Greetings, Please feel free to forward this to interested parties who are not on the DCC list. One Tuesday, Oct 3, the third annual world-wide Megaconference will be held on the Internet. This series of presentations was to have been affliliated with the now- cancelled I2 conference in Austin, TX. Due to its distributed nature, the Megaconference will go on as scheduled. The Dean of the new School of Informatics has generously agreed to provide one of UB hosts sites for participation. Barring unforeseen circumstances the entire event will be carried live in the Department of Library and INformation Studies Conference room on the fifth floor of Baldy Hall. True to conference tradition coffee and pastries will be provided throughout the day. Please take a look at the schedule of talks and alert your faculty regarding those you think they may be interested in. The CIT Advanced Technology Skunkworks also plans to stream the event in IPTV and Microsoft Media Player formats using the sandbox facilities of the Western New York High Performance Network Video Initiative . In addition to a chance to win the door prizes donated to the Megaconference by ViewCom your attendence at any one of the sessions will entitle you to a chance to win one of the door prizes that The School of Informatics will be donating. Again, please spread the word and plan to stop by the DLIS conference room on the Third. Peter Jorgensen Manager - CIT Advanced Technology Skunkworks 716-645-3879 peter@jorg2.cit.buffalo.edu
