GACMG 2009 Fall
Conference Report
The
*Greater Atlanta CMG* met on October 21 at the midtown, Bank of America building
located at 715 Peachtree St. The meeting began with *Kevin Mobley*, our
fearless President, showing a video from the internet covering Google beta
services. The title of the presentation was "*Cloud Encounters -a Panel
discussion and More*". The group discussed implications for the future as our
computer usage shifts from individual machines and/or in-house based services to
the internet cloud.
We also talked about having documents, spreadsheets,
conferences, other computer usage shifting to the internet. Making these
services available to anyone in the world. Kevin informed us that the US Armed
Forces currently has worldwide operations and are strategically planning to move
some of their current operations to 'the cloud'. Of course, a major issue is
security and that will have to be resolved before any usage is safe for the army
and/or corporations.
In addition everyone was fascinated with the video
demonstration on voice collaboration
