In times of crisis…

Feel free to use this space if you’re looking for a free place to stay or want to share the conference hotel room to reduce costs.

And use this space also if you have a free sofa and are considering lending a helping hand to out of town graduate students coming to Austin, on a tight budget, for the Global Fusion Conference. 

Keep in mind that the information on this site is public so please don’t disclose sensitive information.

If you have an interest in Virtual Worlds…

and can spare the upcoming Thursday and Friday Sept 24-25…

…you may want to participate in Slactions 09, a Research conference in the Second Life® world - Life, imagination, and work using metaverse platforms. It is a global  conference being held simultaneously ‘in-world ‘ (that is lingo for ‘ in Second Life’…) and in 7 countries - U.S. (2 chapters: Berkeley and Austin), Brazil (2 chapters: S. Paulo and S. Leopoldo) ), Portugal, the UK, Finland, Israel and China.

You can still register at www.slactions.org under ‘in-world chapter’ or ‘local chapters’. Special rates for students when attending the local chapters. So if you are in any of the cities/countries mentioned, check it out.

Submissions closed and an update

Paper submissions closed on July 6. Keep checking the community section for updates on travel information, which should be up very soon.

This is your blog. Use it:)

Hello,

We have just created the Global Fusion 2009 website using the new blog system that UTAustin has just put in place and that allows for group and/or individual blogs to be setup using Wordpress MU.

We hope to use this space to initiate some discussions that will continue during the conference!
