Techcrunch: Slack announces it’s building voice and video chat
by Dev Anand Teelucksingh March 2, 2016

March 2, 2016

Via www.techcrunch.com/2016/03/01/slack-roadmap/ "Slack laid out its plan to stay ahead of its workplace chat competitors today with new products for its 2.3 million daily active users, up from 2 million in December. The big changes will center around message enhancements, greater Usability, and voice and video chat. That last one is huge. You’ll soon be able to switch directly into a voice or video chat inside of Slack. This could strike a heavy blow to Skype, Google Hangouts and other multi-media collaboration tools. Slack says it will begin testing these features very soon." Dev Anand

Call for volunteers to test the new translation tool for At-Large mailing lists
by Dev Anand Teelucksingh Feb. 25, 2016

Feb. 25, 2016

Hello All, The volunteer ICANN staff at ICANN has put some fixes into the new translation tool meant for the LACRALO lists. However, the TTF needs help to test the new translation tool. Are there volunteers, including ES speaking volunteers willing to help test the translation tool? In case you're haven't heard about the history of the LACRALO mailing list issues, here's a wiki page that tells all the sordid details https://community.icann.org/display/LACRALO/discussion-of-LACRALO-mailing-l… So, how can volunteers help? 1) step forward :-) 2) ICANN staff will add you to the new-transbot-en and new-transbot-es mailing lists which runs the new software. The new-transbot-en list archive: http://mm.icann.org/pipermail/new-transbot-en/ The new-transbot-es list archive: http://mm.icann.org/pipermail/new-transbot-es/ 3) EN volunteers, post EN to the new-transbot-en list and see the results on the new-transbot-es list and see how well it worked - did the whole message translate, was there any garbage characters, etc. 4) ES volunteers, post ES to the new-transbot-es list and see the results on the new-transbot-es list and see how well it worked - did the whole message translate, was there any garbage characters, etc 5) As you see messages, respond to messages as a further test to see how the translation tools handles replies. If you see a bug, then make a note on the table at the wiki https://community.icann.org/display/LACRALO/discussion-of-LACRALO-mailing-l… linking to the archive email. You can join the TTF Skype Chat and ask questions or leave comments: https://join.skype.com/DI9F1YS5Alcc and leave notes there. Kind Regards, Dev Anand

With Adobe Connect 9.5.2, Adobe Flash won't be required to attend Adobe Connect meetings
by Dev Anand Teelucksingh Feb. 25, 2016

Feb. 25, 2016

Looks like with Adobe Connect 9.5.2, desktop users can access Adobe Connect conferences WITHOUT requiring Adobe Flash to be installed. I wonder if the Adobe Connect add-in is multiplatform, meaning would it work on Windows, Mac and Linux? >From http://blogs.adobe.com/adobeconnect/2016/02/flash-free.html "Last year, we shared with you some of our plans for supporting HTML5 and other web standards. Since then, we’ve introduced features that: - support HTML5 content from Adobe Captivate and Adobe Presenter in virtual classrooms - enable customers to easily create offline MP4 versions of their recordings to support mobile devices - incorporate a new Adobe Connect SDK to add support for HTML5/Javascript versions of custom pods Today, I’m pleased to announce a new update to Adobe Connect that enables customers without Adobe Flash Player installed on their computer to attend an Adobe Connect meeting, virtual classroom, or webinar. Flash is no longer required. With this latest update, customers who don’t have the Flash plug-in installed or enabled on their browsers will be prompted to download and install the Adobe Connect add-in. Once installed, the add-in will thereafter automatically launch for all Adobe Connect meetings. While the underlying technology for an Adobe Connect meeting hasn’t changed (at least, not yet), we believe this will further reduce any barriers to entering an Adobe Connect meeting, virtual classroom, or webinar. The new feature comes with the 9.5.2 update......In addition to product optimizations and bug fixes, we’re also improving accessibility in this latest version of Adobe Connect." Dev Anand

First Peak of Mobile for ICANN55
by Chris Gift Feb. 5, 2016

Feb. 5, 2016

The TTF gets first peak at the next version of the mobile app! The ICANN55 Mobile App has launched in three app stores and online website https://meetingapp.icann.org. All apps are searchable by ICANN, and ICANN55 etc. Here are the links: Google Playhttps://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fivetouchsolutions.em… with Android 2.3.3 and higherApple App Store -- Compatible with iOS 7.0 and higherBlackBerry Worldhttps://appworld.blackberry.com/webstore/content/59989171/Compatible with BlackBerry 10 and higherWindows Phone Storehttps://www.microsoft.com/en-us/store/apps/icann55/9nblggh5p5xlCompati… with Windows Phone 8 and higher Please keep in mind the following: we will not advertise the mobile app until the schedule is officially published, however, there is an “Example Session” posted on the app currently to demo the new format I am working to post for all sessions with remote participation links. So please don’t distribute this email as it may cause confusion. Also, those participants that noted in the previous mobile app that they would like their profiles transferred to ICANN55 have been moved into the new app. Note that not all of your feedback from our previous experience with this app has been incorporated into this version. We’re licensing a standard third party application and there’s only so much we can do to guide their development path. Chris Gift ICANN M +31.06.2787.6232 Twitter @cgift

Adobe Connect Bot for Slack
by Dev Anand Teelucksingh Feb. 3, 2016

Feb. 3, 2016

Interesting stuff, so Slack users could ask "What meetings are going on now?" and the bot would reply https://medium.com/@michaelfitzpatrick/adobe-connect-bot-for-slack-3170876f… It is more geared for admins, but shows the promise of group chat solutions Dev Anand
