Tumult presents Hype

January 24, 2015, 9:30 a.m., George Mason University

Canceled:

❅ Because many of our members must travel fairly long distances, and the weather outlook is extremely uncertain (but it certainly looks unpleasant), the January 2015 General Meeting has been canceled. ❅

Note: the meeting will be in Johnson Center, Room A, and not our normal meeting space. Map

Tumult markets their website creation and animation tool, Hype, using the catchphrase:

Create. Animate. HTML5.

Using Hype, you can create beautiful web content. Interactive content and animations made with Tumult Hype work on desktops, smartphones and iPads. Hype does all the coding; you don't have to. It also uses HTML 5, the latest web standard, supporting desktops, laptops, smartphones and tablets.

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

The General Meeting will not be at our usual location but instead be at Johnson Center, Room A, on the George Mason University campus in Fairfax VA. Check back closer to the meeting date for any updates or changes.

Important Parking Information: Two Options, Paid and Free

The Shenandoah Parking Garage (formerly the Sandy Creek Parking Garage because it is located on Sandy Creek) 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.
