Creating a High-Tech Meeting/Conference Room?

papaia asks: "As the network geek in my company, I have been tasked with defining a high-end, fully connected and extremely easy to use conference room, for our CEO, who is your classic non-computer-using person. The requirements are to accommodate 'local' (to the conference room) meetings, as well as interactive sessions with people in other locations, allowing him to discuss/debate various product solutions, on files being opened and available to him to pinpoint issues, without the knowledge of the underlying software used to create them (e.g. CAD drawings where he could make annotations, etc). Do any of you have recommendations for building the 'meeting room of the 21st century'?" "The solutions I have been looking into, so far, range from various types of whiteboards (Panasonic's interactive whiteboard, or SMART board one), to interactive displays, and software such as Netmeeting, or Cisco's meeting place.

I obviously need to combine any or all of the above with some capability of video (of course), thus I am looking into various webcams, and conferencing capabilities in some equipment - the latter is yet another challenge (VoIP or not?!?). I have also looked at meeting room suggestions, and I cannot really make up my mind."

    When you get done swimming you can get too cold thats why towelie always says "dont forget to bring a towel".

    If your CEO likes swimming, that is. He'll be forever in debt with you when he sees how he doesn't catch colds that often anymore.

    Do you really think that when the US said it wanted France's support, it was for military support? They call it the "Coalition," but (unless you live in Britain or Australia) when was the last time you heard about a British or Australian unit doing much of anything?

    The reason the US wanted any other country's support is simply to create the appearence that they're not doing this by themselves.

    "Signed, a US citizen who's proud of our troops but not our military."

    Wrong! You can't support the troops without supporting every single action of the Commander in Chief. If you don't support everthing the Military does in every county it invades then your a Terrorist Traitor! It's a fact, I heard it on Fox news.
