Summer days, drifting away

So, what's been happening on EGRET lately?

Many people involved with the project have been on summer holidays.

I've gathered (already!) a lot of fascinating examples of issues relating to institutionalisation of software, particularly with reference to CamTools, which is further along the path than Talks.cam. CamTools relaunched in a new version at the end of July, and we are now brainstorming ideas for next generation CamTools next year. One aspect of Camtools09, or CamToolsWow, or whatever we decide to call it, will be Talks.cam integration, and there will also be new social applications.

We'll be having a big team brainstorm about ideas for social applications within the university this afternoon. There are a lot of different angles for this, from academic apps to purely social ones, as well as many different user groups (students, researchers, administrators). I hope some of the ideas will be relevant to EGRET as well as our other projects which will have social aspects this year.

Do comment below if you have any suggestions for great apps we should think about!
