Presence and IntComm WG

[Elaine Lauerman <>]

Attendees: Jesse Thompson, Elaine Lauerman, Tim Callahan, Deke Kassabian

- FMM Brainstorming: Speakers, topics, PIC and mobility

- Make it a special interest group

- Scott Brim isn't at Cisco any longer so we won't be able to take advantage of Cisco participating

- We want a community engagement discussion (like a round table discussion)

- Possible speakers:

- Tyler Johnson

- Mark McCahill (Duke) 

- Peter St. Andre (Cisco/independent)

- Deke - Open Source Telephony

- Tim Callahan - Communications

Topics

- Justin web RTC (voice and video chat)

- Persuade Peter St. Andre to attend (Tim requested VC on the meeting form just in case)

-

Deke's thoughts on Google+. Chat interoperating with different systems

- Next steps, development of our "communications bridge" proof of concept.
- Google+ has quickly gained a lot of momentum and many users.  Is there interest in a PIC pilot/development project (like we did for Wave?)  If so, what would you like to see, especially as a community?

- UPenn is interested in this

- UM is about to be a Google school (looking for collaboration solutions, transitioning campus mail system, real-time messaging) UM is looking for ways to consolidate staff and save money due to slashed funds.

University of Wisconsin hosts 250 domains, a lot of departments will refuse to use Google. 


Next call topics: 

- We hope to invite Justin Uberti to one of our calls.  What conversations would you like to have with Google's Real-time Communications Tech Lead?  We need a topic/question/discussion list. Please share your suggestions (If you can't make today's call, continue the email thread...) 

- Interoperability with existing (campus) XMPP based services
- Profiles for edu's? It's currently only for "individuals"; what suggestions do WE have (focus on real-time communications)
- Can/Should/Impact of: schools using the same properties as individuals, such as circles?  i.e., peer institutions, "all Big 10 schools", etc.  
   Consider how this could affect/enable group video conferencing across institutions for users, departments, IT, regional EDU efforts, K20, etc. (so back to the interoperability question...)
- Talk about a pilot project, direct collaboration with Google (value, objectives, participants/pilot schools, etc.)
