June General Meeting

Joys of Social Media, Part II

June 23, 2012, 9:30 a.m., George Mason University

Social networking with Apple apps (PDF, 6.2 MB)

The June 23 General Meeting will continue the lively, raucous and sometimes riotous discussion of the Joys of Social Media. Larry Kerschberg, Travis Good and audience members will explore topics such as privacy and security in Facebook, using Facebook to keep in touch with family and friends, sharing photos of a recent vacation, and a "one more thing" surprise.

Bonus: Jay will tell us about Apple's WWDC keynote and all the new features for both Mountain Lion and iOS 6.

The afternoon Mobile LifeStyle SIG will explore Facebook's new App Center, the deep Facebook integration into the upcoming version of iOS 6, the improved Foursquare app, and audience show-and-tell of your favorite new apps.

Once again, we will attempt to stream it over the Internet: http://www.ustream.tv/channel/wap-general-meeting.

Important Parking Information: Two Options, Paid and Free

The Sandy Creek Parking Garage is fee-based facility. It is more convenient and closer to the meeting location. The Pi will subsidize the facility's parking fee by providing vouchers for donation request of $4.00.

If using the parking garage, park in Visitor's area; i.e., the lowest level. Take the elevator to the third floor (Campus Level), and exit along the sky bridge.

After the meeting, exit the garage using the exits marked for Validated Tickets. Your parking ticket goes in first. Then the validation ticket goes in next. If you have any problems, there is a speaker box for calling the parking lot attendant at the checkout point.

Free parking in Lot A (see map below)

Park as close to Mattaponi River Lane as possible, then walk north along that road toward the main campus buildings. The sidewalk route takes you directly to the side of Enterprise Hall, on your left. The meeting room is located on the second floor, accessible via outside stairs or via an elevator on your right as soon as you enter the building through the doors behind the outside stairs. We will endeavor to have signs posted to help guide you to the right location. It is at least a five-minute walk from Lot A and up a slight incline. We will be using a golf cart along the route, to offer rides to those who want or need a lift.

Handicapped Parking: There are three handicap parking spaces next to Enterprise Hall that can be used by members, on a first come first served basis. Have your Handicap Sticker showing on the dashboard or on the rear-view mirror.
