RE: Introductions and First Meeting

Hi,

 

My name is Tim Harshbarger.  I am a senior accessibility consultant at Deque Systems.  While I have a general interest in conversational interfaces, I am mostly looking at this from an accessibility perspective.     

 

Thanks,

Tim

Nelson, Ryan, Joseph, Feng,

 

Nice to meet you, and thank you for the introduction.

 

 

Everyone,

 

Please don't be shy to say hello :)

 

This Friday, let's hop on a conference call to cover the following agenda:

1. Introduce new members

2. Answer question together: How is this group different from the Voice Assistant Standardisation Community Group?

3. Review charter

4. Review tasks

5. Decide next meeting time

 

I'll set up conference meeting phone-number/link soon and send it by Thursday. 

What time on Friday works best for everyone? I was thinking 1:30 pm PST.

 

Best,

Nishant

I'm interested in Augmentative and Alternative Communication. Hoping that standards can be developed for AAC.

 

I'm a member of the Voice Assistant Standardisation Community Group <https://www.w3.org/community/voice-assistant/>  and am wondering how the Conversational Interfaces Community Group is different.

 

BTW, if you're in LA I have a meetup group you might be interested in.

Greetings,

 

Welcome to the Conversational Interfaces Community Group! We can have our first teleconference meeting sometime next week. 

 

How about March 15th? 

 

The official CG page <https://www.w3.org/community/conv/>  says there are 11 participants already, so I think it's worth introducing ourselves. My name is Nishant; my doctorate studies were on robot learning and interactions, and now I lead a team of Engineers in Los Angeles that make educational AI tutors. 

 

Where are you from, and what do you do?

 

Best,

Nishant Shukla, VP Engineering
