Resolved issues regarding the training

More people than expected signed up last minute and the student assistant who does the booking is not in the house. But the library also has facilities we can utilize for our purposes. This got just confirmed and so the training will be in Room 0.204 at the MU library.

Today I created the basic page structure for every department. And once webicians went through the training they find a clean structure waiting to be filled with their content. I recently discussed with a professor issues of program visibility and ways to improve the websites google ranking. As a side note she recalled that "nobody had thought in the 80s that we will communicate exclusively via email one day". This remark echoed today when talking about metaversen and augmented reality. All of these 'technologies' became possible around the same time as email did. But while email was the killer application on the internet (and not the WWW) SL (second life) and AR paused for two decades. A good overview of the history When the "cyberspace" of the 80s gave way to the "Information Super Highway" and the "Web" of the 90s, the new millennium retrieved SL and AR as a "ritual environment" email was still the most used online service. Some things come and go others stay and in between there are doors.

The Alumni Event is over and here is the video that was edited not by the student editor:
