AGENDA 000:
- Personal Intros (Who are we as individual Blender Users?) * Blender experience, talent levels and fortes * Show-and-tell any artwork, projects and accomplishments * Current/future Blender goals, desires and intentions
- Group Identity * Vision, Mission + Learning 3D-art from our shared inspirations in Blender and accoutrements (GIMP, Photoshop, etc) + Frustrated newb support and casually curious encouragement + 3D art projects, challenges * Group Name * Group Logistics + Computer networking [TeamViewer, Skype, GoToMeeting, GooglePlus, other?] + Group networking [KeepAndShare, WunderKit, other?] * Possible Group Officers?
- Next Meeting(s)? * More Accommodating Meeting locations (if not the Art Institute of Portland) * Advertising the Group's Existence and Activities + Local + Internet (other than Blender News Headlines) * Possible Topics + Online resources (who knows what's out there and what's your favorite or most frequented) + Group activities
Anticipated Duration: 3 hours |
RE: Computer Netwroking. TeamViewer is the only free (for non-business private individuals) Internet group communications service that not only accommodates audio and video conferencing, but also remote viewing and remote control of computers.
If not TeamViewer, what other free service will allow one or several absent members to watch a meeting in progress, or two or more members hooking up outside of meetings?
Baechler (of SeaBUG) told me that Skype accommodates remote viewing. I couldn't find such, at least not in Skype's free accounts.
To set this KeepAndShare up, I had to assume some things that the group should decide, like the Group Name; PorBUG. If we decide on a different name, we might want to set up different accounts (this KnS=PorBUG, and this needed an email=PorBUGsMail@gmail.com).
Besides, I'm kind of hoping one of us knows or finds a better group logistics web service. Though KnS has a lot of practical functionality that we can use, I don't really care for its looks, and PorBUG could easily grow beyond KnS's free account limits.
Not yet knowing each other's Blender backgrounds and intentions (Personal Intros), the proposed Vision, Mission are just that; Proposals. Maybe we want something more instructional, especially if there are some Blender &/or 3D graphics experts, possibly w/ formally education, among us?
