Presence and IntComm WG

["Callahan, Tim" <>]

Here's the proposal (see bottom) for our PIC-WG meeting for Fall (Oct 3-6, 
Raleigh http://events.internet2.edu/2011/fall-mm )
Please share any feedback, suggested changes, additions, etc.  This should be 
a little different than our regular meetings, and I hope to attract new 
members and re-invigorate existing members.

I'm suggesting a bit of a format change too. I'd like to have a several 
speakers/presentations for the first 2/3 of the meeting.  For the rest, I'd 
like to have our traditional meeting, plus discuss upcoming work/potential 
activities/etc, and get input on community interest and where we should focus 
our efforts to provide value. 

I'm looking for speakers/presenters.  This is a great time to share your 
deployment/implementation stories, new research, case studies, new 
product/solution reviews, strategies, etc.  It doesn't have to be long - even 
under 5 minutes is fine.  Even if you're not presenting, please share any 
topics you would like to see.  Topics are fairly wide-open, but ideally, 
should fit into the description below. (For example, I'm thinking of 
including Google+ interoperability.)

Thoughts/feedback/suggestions are welcome.

----------
The PIC working group will expand into "Mobility" due to significant interest 
during the last member meeting. Topics should include protocols for mobility, 
implementations, and the intersection of mobility, presence, and integrated 
communications.  We'll also cover our traditional topics of real-time 
communications, such as new applications of XMPP.

Participants in upcoming projects are needed. New members and curious guests 
are all invited.
