== Comments ==
'''ljubo''': I've listed all the times I'm available to work on the presentation. Remember that we also need to prepare the powerpoint etc. I prefer to meet earlier. Tuesday is ideal for me.
'''ljubo''': Siji, Michael and I are all available on <u>'''Wednesday between 12:00pm and 1:30pm'''</u>. The 4 of us should for sure meet during that time to make the powerpoints and plan the presentation based on all the research gathered, and even come up with some debate topics for the Q&A portion of the presentation. Each person will be responsible for practicing their own part of the presentation based on the powerpoint slides to make sure they can present in the allotted time.
There is also the '''"Thank You Letter"''' but that should be easy ;)
If anyone is feeling nervous and would like additional practice, I am willing to meet with anyone again later in the week during my available times to review the work that Siji, Michael and I will do on Wednesday, and even rehearse the presentation.
= Discussion =
'''andre:''' Here is photosynth link. It's owned by Microsoft and its an incredible technology that still in its baby steps. Eventually this will recreate our world in a virtual enviroment, where you can travel w/o movement. http://photosynth.net/
'''ljuboSiji:''' Folks, I really like Damianjust realized that we hadn's idea to research Cloud Computingt announced our topic on BB. I am still curious to know which company specifically we could interviewhave done it now - under Discussion -> Forums. Damian mentions MS and HPBetter late than never, I guess. Are these possibilities?
'''Damian:''' I'm not sure myself, but I added another link that lists some Canadian companies. Just a matter of finding which ones are based in Toronto? (p.s. I moved the discussion to the top to make viewing easier)
'''Siji:''' I talked to Ms.Potter. Here's what we are expected to deliver for this project-
# Copy of Thank you letter sent to interviewee
# Contact form given in package ( see Blackboard )
# Technology profile 1 page
# Oral presentation - about 30 minutes long + 5 minutes for questions
# Outline of presentation ( go to Powerpoint - print outline view - include our names on our respective sections )
I guess the next thing to do is to find someone to interview, soon. Any ideas?
= Individual Work ='''ljubo:''' I really like the idea to research Cloud Computing. I am still curious to know which company specifically we could interview. He mentions MS and HP. Are these possibilities? '''ljubo:''' photosynth is another great idea. Andre, do you have a company in mind that we could interview? '''Michael:''' I like the idea of cloud computing, Since I'm coming in so late, I'll simply do whatever the rest of you decide.

=Individual Work = Ljubomir == Please review the handout called "Innovations in Business Communication Technologies.doc" (it's on Blackboard). It explains what is required for this part of the project. The following is copied from that document...
=== wireIE ==='''"NOTE: ALL TEAM MEMBERS MUST PARTICIPATE IN EACH PHASE OF THE PROJECT AND CONTRIBUTE SIGNIFICANTLY TO RESEARCHING INFORMATION, INTERVIEWING CONTACTS, WRITING DOCUMENTS AND POWER POINT CONTENT, AND PRESENTING ORALLY.
I had previously suggested [http://wwwDESCRIBE EACH TEAM MEMBER’S TASKS BELOW.wireie.com/ wireIE] (The chart is expandable, so take the space needed to include detail as a company for us to interview. They have an office in Richmond Hillyou type.)"'''
One challenge with choosing wireIE is that I am not sure which/what technology specifically believe all we would focus onneed to do at this point is subdivide our individual tasks and give ourselves some due dates. From what I understand If everybody can update this wiki first, they are mainly a network design companywe can use the invormation to fill in the required chart on "Innovations in Business Communication Technologies. wireIE '''USE''' the latest technologies for building networks, but they do not manufacture devices, nor do they endorse a specific technologydoc".
On a recent blogRemember, this is due on Tuesday, wireIE posted that "WireIE’s President & CEO Rob Barlow has donated a satellite phone so please don't leave it for the last minute (even though it is the last minute). Please try to be used fill in your portion by Monday 12:00pm (noon) at the Haitian Government"latest. wireIE also have This gives the other team members a number of "Clean Energy Management" solutions that help companies chance to save power and reduce their carbon footprintreview your choices before Tuesday.
Although wireIE is an interesting company and is most certainly involved in data communications, they may be a challenging topic for EAC397 unless we can find and focus on a specific device/technology that they offer, or are involved with.
