DUG: Setting Up Microphones for WebEx Meetings

Setup #1: Using Two Microphones at the Same Time

This arrangement is ideal for a large room or any room with a large table.

Main Tips

The two keys to making the "use both microphones" setup work are:

  1. set the microphones FAR APART (or else they will interfere with each other), and
  2. hook up all the cables correctly (and slightly differently) for each microphone.

Primary Microphone

Even though the two microphones are identical, you must choose one to be primary when using BOTH and then follow these steps:

DUG: Reserving Rooms for Monthly Meetings / Help Sessions

You can reserve up to one (1) year into the future, and should probably do so after each month's meeting, since some rooms are very popular.

Editor's Note:  These instructions were for the old Virtual EMS system, so they probably are inaccurate, but they do give the right details.  You'll just have to figure out where those details go.  Of course, feel free to update this page with the correct instructions and then remove this note.

DUG: Server Setup

Current Server Setup

  • s2.drupal.gatech.edu - drupal.gatech.edu : Drupal Users Group Community Site [Drupal 10]
    • Site is running the IAC GT3 Theme found in themes/gt3 and modules/gt3_themeblocks
    • All local customizations are found in modules/gt3_custom/css/iac-local.css
    • The site leverages the IAC visual component toolkit for CKEditor, which has its css in modules/gt3_custom/css/iac-gt-core.css .  This file should not be changed, as it will periodically be updated from its master source.

Notes here about how to post agendas to the website, and also templates for the emails that go out to announce meetings/Build Days on the listserv.

Location: Bradley Conference Room (109)

DUG: Drop-In Help Session Locations

Klaus 2100

Enter the atrium via the south doors.  You will see the two large auditoriums directly in front of you.  Turn left and take either the elevators (to your right) or the stairs (through door to your left) up to the second floor.  From the second floor elevator lobby, go back out to the atrium and the conference room will be on the right.

Chapin 220/230

Go up the stairs or elevator to the second floor, then go towards the back of the building, through the large open lab room to the conference room at the back of the lab

Resizing Images

It is important to resize images to best fit the needs of a particular web page.  When an image is larger than necessary, this results in users wasting time and bandwidth (which they may have to pay for on mobile devices) to download image content that they will never actually see.
