NOTE
I've got two events by NASA this week. The first is an open house at
the NASA CoLab whose mission is to develop and support online and
offline communities collaborating with NASA, and to support NASA
projects in becoming more collaborative with those outside of NASA.
The open house will be on 15 May 2008 from 2pm to 6pm at NASA Ames
(Bldg. 17).
According to the invite:
Come learn about how NASA CoLab can make your work more collaborative
and open.
* Second Life Demo Station Ð Experience the virtual world of Second
Life at NASA CoLab Island. Fly around the facility and check out the
sights and sounds of the digital CoLab atmosphere.
* NASA CoLab Community Website Station Ð Browse our community website,
a p dynamic conference community space and a place where anyone with
an interest in space exploration can participate in collaborative NASA
communities and projects.
* Collaborative, Open Space Station Ð Bring your laptops, bring your
ideas, bring your conversation! Group discussions are encouraged
here. NASA CoLab HQ is officially open as a physical space for those
interested in group collaboration and participation!
Snacks and Drinks will be provided. Bring your laptops and a cup for
beverages.
The second is the Luna Philosophie a creative initiative of NASA CoLab
that will occur on (or close to) every Full Moon, in San Francisco, as
part of CoLab's efforts to bring NASA and space to the dynamic
creative communities of the San Francisco Bay Area. Each Luna
Philosophie meeting will have a different theme, and will involve a
presentation and open discussion for philosophizing. Anyone who is
interested in an open, creative dialog on human, space related
topics is encouraged to attend!
