Paca Nathan from HeadCase labs gave a great talk at softec last week about Social Networks focusing on Second Life and Facebook. One great point he made was that we are in a good physical location to take advantage of the collaboration between Silicon Valley and Hollywood in the emerging 3D social media and machinima space. These social 3D worlds are being designed by architects, scripted by programmers and animated by artist. He though that Cal Poly has a unique advantage to be a leader in Virtual Worlds because of their strong Architecture and CS departments.
If you missed the meeting you can watch the video here:
Paco has also posted his slides, notes and links on the HeadCase blog.
Pictures as usual are up on the softec photo gallery.

The meeting was great. Paco brought a great deal of energy and enthusiasm to his presentation. He and his company are a welcome addition to the Central Coast Tech Community.
The dinner and presentation were well attended with a very high number of first time attendees. Welcome one and all.
Make sure you save the 4th Wednesday of the month for the next Softec Meeting.
Cheers,
