Collaborative meeting tool

Palsu

Palsu is an interactive meeting tool that is used to demonstrate capabilities of VIE. The idea is to create a tool for coordinating both online and real-world meetings. This means being able to manage:

• Meeting scheduling
• Agenda for meetings
• Collaboratively written meeting notes
• Action points (tasks) that arise in the meeting
• Participants of the meeting, and action points assigned to them

Palsu comes from the Finnish word for a "meeting".
