3
PAG (Portlet Access Grid)
  • By Tobias Schiebeck (Uni. Manchester) (see
    www.omii.ac.uk/wiki/PAG)
  • PAG is video conferencing software (based on
    Access Grid) that runs in a browser
  • Goal was easy-to-use people could drop into an
    AG using their laptop
  • Access Grid is difficult to install and configure
  • PAG aims to solve these problems
  • Also talked about One VRE to join them all
  • Videoconferencing document sharing
  • Will also ensure that PAG development continues

4
OGSA-DAI experience
  • By Mario Antonioletti (OMII-UK and OGSA-DAI)
  • Collaborative project Code repository, website,
    branding
  • Lots of meetings, tried AG, but wasnt reliable
  • Now use telecons
  • Mailing lists (must have searchable archives)
  • Thinks that we need searchable, archived mailing
    lists at OMII-UK)
  • Worked well IRC, messaging, meeting schedulers,
    wiki, TRAC (issue tracking) and blog
    (dissemination)
  • Not tried forums, guestbooks, document annotator
    (wants one, but doesnt know of a good one),
    software doing surveys

5
DIASER
  • By Damian Brasher (OMII-UK)
  • Uses website, ,mailing lists, SVN and RSS
    (non-forceful dissemination people have to sign
    up)
  • Skype and telecons for meetings
  • Communication was vital through building the
    collaboration between what was a private business
    and what became a collaboration with OMII-UK
  • Intra- and inter-team comms now need to be built
    on

6
NGS
  • Gillian asked about
  • Twitter has generated a lot of traffic for them
  • Use mailing lists and AG
  • Have a Facebook site and Flikr site for photos

7
Tools what we use
  • Glance
  • Team viewer cross-platform
  • CCC Confirm
  • Google docs (poss. Security problems, problems
    with simultaneous editing going wrong, in general
    mixed reviews)
  • Oovoo
  • IOCOM (3rd-party AG system) very good, stable,
    commercial (not cheap, but worth the money)
  • iChair share docs on Mac
  • Evo collaborations
  • Sakai portal system - document sharing, wiki and
    other components
  • PHP website
  • BSCW repository
  • Plone
  • Second life

8
Cool whizzy tools
  • Twitter explosion not sure how useful it is, but
    theres certainly a lot of it about
  • ooVoo Skype-like, but easier to use than Evo
  • Evo good for video conferencing on a laptop no
    real experience of it beyond 4 participants (but
    not as good as PAG if there are varied
    participants and if good network is available)
  • OSS-Watch used live blogging with Twitter for
    feedback
  • Markmail searchable mail archives, give stats,
    etc.

9
Conclusions
  • Need to prepare a list of the tools that weve
    described people can describe their experiences
    rather than provide recommendations
  • Small session on CRMs
  • Could continue this session and collect the above
    information
