Presence and IntComm WG

["Callahan, Tim" <>]

Thanks Mark - that looks right up our alley.  If we like it, we might be able 
to set something up as part of PIC.  I skimmed the install instructions, and 
think it is technically possible to setup a server on our Internet2 resources 
(hardware resources, that is, as our labor resources are pretty skimpy.)  I 
think we need to know a lot more before we take it that far, though.

Peter, the introduction would be welcome, and perhaps they can join one of 
our calls.  We don't know much about them and don't really have an agenda 
yet, but I suspect it would still be a good conversation.
-Tim

I know the BuddyCloud folks and could provide an introduction.
