As one of the Rendezvous-ers (I'm sure there's a more elegant French word) who lives in downtown Vancouver, I'd like to begin a discussion of how we can choreograph a f2f meeting on Friday afternoon/evening, Oct 28, to draw in people attending the eLearn conference and others who may be local. There are some very interesting ideas about how to set up virtual participation, but I want to make sure that we have a place to sit and natter if we are able to attend in person.

I notice that the eLearn conference is at the Vancouver Sheraton Wall Centre --  so maybe we should start looking into rooms there -- not one of those subterranean  ballrooms though. Can the eLearn people help us out, or are we on our own with this planning? Any other ideas?

Thought I'd start this discussion topic, just because it's a good idea to practise setting up a discussion topic...oh...and because I think we should try and gather together all the requests for help in using this Moodle site.

For example, I'm a bit confused about the seminars/forums/discussion topics. How to access and the differences?

Also curious to know who among us knows enough to offer help
