Hello OS-niks, I watched Lucas' 4-min QiqoChat video walk-through <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gsp5kz6QcTo> just now and it's pretty great! >From that overview I can already see that it's a platform that does everything I would ask it to, short of actually transporting us into a room together: audio, video, collaborative note-taking color-coded for each contributor, screen-sharing, live-chat across the whole VOSonOS - that is, between / across all the break-outs and butterflies, possibility to share links and other resources in real-time. And it's all on one screen. Plus looks like it's very easy to buzz between the break-out sessions, with just a click.
I am excited to play with it, with you, and learn a lot together at this VOSonOS next week. ( VOSonOS webpage and registration here <http://vosonos.qiqochat.com/> ) love and cheers from an excessively hot Seattle, Christy Christy Lee-Engel, ND, EAMP <https://www.facebook.com/BastyrUniversityMIndBodySpiritNature?ref=hl>Director, Center for Mind, Body, Spirit and Nature <https://www.facebook.com/BastyrUniversityMIndBodySpiritNature> *Bastyr* *University* *It is an illusion that we won’t be connected when this form ends - we are always connected, beyond form ~ *Angeles Arrien On Fri, Jun 5, 2015 at 5:25 PM, Lucas Cioffi via OSList < oslist@lists.openspacetech.org> wrote: > Hello Harrison, > > Fortunately the site is working correctly now.
