Introducing REBOL 3.0
 by Carl Sassenrath

(The content will be spread in probably more than one session)

Opening and a historical note.


What makes a system popular? Is it the language, the platform, or 
the applications? The bigger picture: the virtual OS. Moving beyond 
conventional OS models. Being a latform. The core of modern applications 
- it's not what you think.


The motivation for R3. The guiding theme. Portablity and extensibility 
- the R3 open foundation. Overview of R3 features.


Environments - embedding REBOL. Building your own version of REBOL 
- within a standard. Plugins - extending REBOL. The IO device model 
- how to create a device.


New datatypes. The Module architecture. Tasks, threads, and more. 
The new graphics system. All new port design. New debugging methods. 
New object tricks. DB access nd indexed files. IPv6 discussion. Compatibility 
- taming the lion. What's next? When and where can you get a copy? 
The goal of DevBase and DocBase.

It is really a pity I can't go to  Paris :-(

there is probably a typ? "Being a latform" should probably be "Being 
a platform"?

Petr, you really should take some sick days late next week.  You 
need to go to Paris May 10-11...

typ = typo

Chris - I am 4 weeks at my new job. According to local law I can't 
have vacation first 3 months ....

and I am not brave enough to cheat and to claim my boss we need Rebol, 
so that they should send me over to Paris :-)

What are your local laws regarding being "sick" as in "I'm sick to 
my stomach that I can't go to the DevCon!"

:-)

I have to provide my boss with the strategy for IS implementation 
on all of our subsidiaries till next friday. I would have to leave 
on Wednesday or sooner for Paris, no? I can't make it :-(

Can't you work on the train/car (assuming someone goes with you). 
 This is 2007, do you really need to be "in" the office?

This is 2007, do you really need to be 

in" the office?" so true...  I work from home often, and its actually 
faster than the office cause I have better web and am alone using 
it  :-)

Anyone organising a little tour? just a few cars, tagging along in 
paris either on wednesday or during the week-end after...

At this time, and I far as I know, there should be live video feed 
of the sessions available on the Net.

Th URL will probably be disclosed on the Devcon Website the thursday 
morning. And of course, on Altme.

I guess there will be also video recording, but can't say for sure.

That's good, because I don't make it this year :-(. I have a very 
important meeting on Firday.

some easy marketing: why are the devcon 2005 videos not on youtube 
or google video?

actually i've been thinking of uploading them.

i need to find some time and look at what i need to do (eg encoding) 
to put them there.

I think you just upload them, and they take care of the rest.

YouTube I know you just upload.  No need to worry about encoding 
there

i'll have to do it... hopefully soon.

but... anybody having the videos can, right? :)

No............................just "you"

: )

:P

just upload - that is not really correct, as video length is limited 
to just a few minutes.

so, i'll have to split the videos up, which may mean reencoding them.

Gabriele, I don't know how people do it, but I've seen videos at 
about 2 hours on youtube.

maybe that was before they put the limit in?

no, these are new videos

well... dunno, upload page says max 100mb per video...

Your video is limited to 10 minutes and 100 MB. For more details 
about uploading videos, see the Help Center.

that could be it. if the videos are squeezed under that, they might 
fit.

maybe you need special permissions to upload more... like if you 
are a very active user or post very good videos they reward you with 
more time.

that could be

anyhow, video.google.com doesn't have that limit, AFAIK

Do they have pay accounts, like Flickr, that let you do more?

What about Revver?

I remember reading on an Amiga gaming site that you can uplaod large 
files but need to go thru a process with youtube first and then all 
is good

ok, so quick poll. what do you want me to do? 1) split videos and 
upload to youtube, 2) upload to google video, 3) something else

google video

revver: We do have a size restriction of 100MB per file

(they also attach an ad to each video)

utube

youtube AND goggle video  ;-)

All YouTube material shows up on Google Video too, so uploading stuff 
to YouTube should suffice

For those who can't come to Paris, the Video feed should be there

IS this link on the DevCon Website also?

Gariele; splits on youtube
