Meeting Agenda

Discussions

We have been soliciting input for presentations and discussion topics.

Location Details

We will soon provide , using the Tricider web application. Please visit that discussion page to provide input. 

Presentations

If you have a presentation that relates to a topic which would concern the Samvera community, please contact Former user (Deleted) and we will consider putting aside a short period of time for you to present.

Network Access and Power Supply

Our campus participates in the Eduroam project, but we will also be attempting to gain some temporary wireless access accounts for those who require them.

We are also searching for a number of power strips (from campus resources) to facilitate our device charging requirements during this event. We are having little success, so if you can think of it–bring your own power-strip to share with others in need. (We will update this page if this no longer becomes necessary.)

Food around Campus

For those who attend the event, we anticipate providing a continental-type of breakfast in the morning. For lunch, we are making an effort to provide a meal at our University Dining Hall, as a part of the Friday buffet offering.

For those who want to take charge of their own food needs, we have the typical food offerings nearby the library on campus, a few just a short walk away, and then (on the Eastern edge of campus) we have a wonderful new selection fine restaurants.

(Expect a list to follow.)

Driving Directions to Campus

Whether you're coming from the North or the South, you'll need to take the "Golden State Highway" (99) to the "Sequoia-Kings Canyon Freeway" (180) and go East. Now, the decision:

• At this point, we suggest you transfer to the "Sierra Freeway" (168) going North and get off at Shaw Ave (Exit 4), turning Left (West) and going three lights before turning Right onto N. Barton Ave.
• If you chose to transfer to the "Yosemite Freeway" (41) instead, you'll go North and get off at Shaw Ave (Exit 132), turning Right (East) and going approximately 1.8 miles before turning Left onto N. Barton Ave.
