Reminder Notice for September 1 Discussion

1) Meeting at our default landing point http://slurl.com/secondlife/Second%20Earth%206/178/30/50 hosted by NOAA. Now and then, does anyone want to host us elsewhere?

2) We are using voice chat using headset. Everyone type important points and links into text chat, which will be archived into the blog. For documents and figures, please dump content and links into the blog prior to meeting, avoiding the flurry of emails. I will make fresh coffee for the group!

3) We have a blog site -- http://ii-colleagues.blogspot.com/ -- to which all of you have been invited as authors. Will be dump all our stuff here. Please monitor and contribute! It was closed, but no one showed up...so now it is opened. Should we instead use Google Docs or Google Sites?

4) Two weeks ago, Cherisa had the idea of using the Greenhouse Gas Protocol Initiative (http://www.ghgprotocol.org/) as problem focus to investigate the conceptual/implementation issues of Immersive Intelligence within virtual worlds. Let's discuss. Scan the GGP website. Note the complexity of the data structures embedded in their "calculators". Reactions?
