Abstract:

A computer implemented method, apparatus, and computer usable program code for distributing media content. A plurality of media files are identified for distribution. A determination is made whether any of the plurality of media files is unavailable remotely. In response to a determination that a portion of the plurality of media files is unavailable remotely, a portion of the plurality of media files is placed in an archive.

Mark Rutenburg - Durham NC, US

International Classification:

G06Q 10/00

US Classification:

705 80

Abstract:

A system and method for minimizing redundant events/meetings is provided. With the system and method, when a meeting request is made, a search of meetings currently in place for the participants involved in the meeting is performed to find potential matches and patterns between them. If a potential match is found, a notification is sent to request that participants join in on a matching currently existing meeting. If that request is declined, a meeting time close to the found meeting is recommended so that preparation time is minimized for these meetings as the preparation has already been completed for the previous meeting. Not only will this maximize the amount of work time people have, it will increase the size of the community that is present within meetings. This will allow for larger collaboration between different, potentially unrelated, parties interested in the meeting topic.

International Classification:

G06F 17/30

US Classification:

707203, 707E17005

Abstract:

A method, system, and computer usable program product for collaborative document versioning are provided in the illustrative embodiments. A document is received for versioning and stored in a data storage associated with a data processing system. A group of users is requested to collaborate in performing a pre-commit processing on the document. Based on the pre-commit processing, a determination is made if the document is to be versioned. The document is sent for versioning if the document is to be versioned.
