Zing from AnyZing in Sydney

April 26, 2006

Zing from AnyZing in Sydney, is a software application to help with electronic-meetings. Con Zymaris mentions Zing in his interview. Con explains how they use Zing as a communication tool for meetings of open source Victoria (OSV). According to Con, Donna Benjamin, who has both theatre and technical backgrounds, plays a vital role in facilitating breakfast meetings, for both on-campus and off-campus participants. Zing is one of Donna's tools of choice.

I will put together a list of links on Zing at del.icio.us/wcrosbie/Zing and at del.icio.us/wcrosbie/Donna_Benjamin
Interestingly, many communities of technical professionals do NOT use technologies to support the idea of dual face to face (f2f)/electronic meetings (I tried chat + face to face once or twice; it's fun but rather chaotic). Is it better to be swamped with emails, and end up too busy to meet people face to face? David Warwick says Zing looks interesting, but there are no plans for the moment to introduce it, or anything similar at CM Pros meetings in Melbourne.
