Fall 2006 Newsletter

Were a few weeks back from another informative and
entertaining conference and have started planning 
as a new executive for next year's conference. 

This years conference highlights started with a 
presentation from our members from Carleton and UWO 
on preparation and development for VOIP deployment, 
followed later in the day from our members from U of 
T on a new offering available, an emergency  
response management system they recently rolled out.

Bell, Microsoft and Aruba dazzled us with a wide array 
of various wireless and mobility offerings some of us 
presently employ, while getting a hint of products of 
the near future.

Speech Recognition was front and center with presentations 
from U of O on planning and preparation, followed by an 
enlightening hands-on presentation from our new members 
from U of T Mississauga.

Meanwhile, Jim Fletcher of Sheridan provided us with a 
success story of OCUTINA branding that can save all 
members money.

Come visit us at www.ocutina.org and see the new look. 
This year because of some of the content of the 
presentations, we have been asked to put the 
presentations in the member's only area.

If you with to see the presentations please fill out the 
web form and a username and password will be sent to you.

Throughout this Agenda we managed to squeeze in a General
meeting and election in which the voting was close forcing 
a re-count to have the following members as your new executive:

President:  Paul Bottone    University of western Ontario

VP Universities:   Richard Lefebvre    Carleton University

VP Colleges:     Chris Decheneaux     Sheridan Institute of Technology

Secretary/Treasurer:  Lilliane Brunet   Laurentian  University

Communications:   George Green    Ryerson University

Social Convenors:  Carol-Ann Roberts, Jane Gordon  Seneca College.

Past President:    Johanne  Rhioux   Laurentian University 


Our planning for next year includes possible re-location 
of the conference we would appreciate any suggestions.  
We would hope that any member would step up with suggestions 
on presentations they would like to see at the next conference. 
As well if there are any members with recent or planned 
projects that you could share with the group.



Thanks


The OCUTINA Executive
