I would like to see a presentation system with concurrent audio feed 
from the presenter.

recordable

That does exist... at the conference in Croatia in 2004 they already 
had that, synced with slides, really nice.

*the TNC conference

I would in fact much rather have that, than some kind of live videofeed

to see anything on the presenter screen you need it in almost HD 
anyway

sounds promising, broadcast via browser (flash)
whiteboard, documentshare etc. and also open source. 
could be the right tool for easy videoconferencing

Dimdim Open Source has all the features of our Enterprise version 

and can be downloaded and installed on your own servers immediately.

Yes, let's keep DevCon 2008 in Prague. I'm for it.

Hmm, I will have to talk about it with Cyphre. But after all those 
years, I wanted to see Carl :-) And if we do 2008 in Prague, next 
time it will be another place (hopefully I will be able to visit). 
But I also planned small promo, some media interview with Carl, etc. 
Anyway - as for RT - there is not DevCon this year ....

We could also use Second Life as these surgeons are for the Devcon

Or, we could all atttend one of those virtual churches and hijack 
the proceedings :)

LOL

Dr. Dobbs has meetings all the time in Second Life

Would anyone be interested in setting aside a day for a virtual Rebcon? 
I am quite curious about 3.0 and projects you all are working on 
plus if some of the gurus could do a workshop(s) on topics (OK, my 
personal fav's)  such as:
Cheyenne
Com/DLL 
Flash Dialect

Anyway, it's a thought and we have only a few weeks left in 2008

I'm interested.

I suspect in exchange of a REAL devcon, most of us would be apt for 
a virtual one.  We need a GOOD way to allow one person to control 
a camera, and voice, and for others to be able to ask questions. 
 THen pass the cam on.

I will give a talk on how we are using REBOL.

Excellent Reichart. Does it have to be live? If we just schedule 
the talks, that may work. Let's give some quick thought. Do you think 
it has to be based on some rebol technology?

Graham is into all sorts of interesting uses of Rebol that I'd like 
to hear about as well.

Yes, it HAS to be live.  This is the power of a conference.  THe 
real time interaction.  To KNOW people are there...now...this is 
not to stop some talks from being recorded ahead of time.  But you 
will lose a lot this way.

You don't see it working that a person could present something that 
was recorded and then at the end we could jump onto Altme? I know, 
kinda cheesey.

Yeah, there is "energy" in knowing you need to be THERE to get your 
questions in.

To be there for the jokes, for the stories, etc.

OK, live it is.

We should do it perhaps over several days, around 12:00pm California 
time, since this allows for people in Australia to get up early, 
and join, and also most of Europe, for whom it will be night.

That sound great. Does 12/27-28 sound good? Saturday and Sunday here 
in CA.

Hmmm, it would be interesting to have a DevCon at this time, since 
many people are at home.

May I suggest, that we do this another way, we create a list and 
let everyone post when is best, and when is worst, then we cull this 
to set a date.  this is SO easy to do in Qtask (we just create a 
form for this).  In AltME we could create a do list, and let each 
person just add their preference and follow a format.

So be it.

Rebcon 2008 date select checklist/voting created.

Who ever posted the first one did not add their name.

I added a single Priority 100 task to serve as  template.

That be me..fixed

Hey, maybe we should have a beliefcon instead, then everyone would 
come :-)

:-D

it would be split in two spaces with a central hall between them....

the central hall being an arena for bitch fest competitions...

law and order would, of course be maintained by pirates.    ;-)

Call for topics and presenters placed in the checklist.
Sent out an email on the mailist to inform and gather input:

Dear Fellow Rebolers (of the mailist faction),


There has been some interest in a virtual gathering of Rebol developers 
and users. These discussions have been taking place in the Rebol3 
Altme World. I know there are many here that do not regularly go 
there but nonetheless would be interested in participating. The date 
and time that has been looked at is December 27th from 12:00 PM. 
How does that sound to you?


There has been no decision on the technology to be used but you're 
input would be much appreciated. We are also in need of presenters 
and/or desired topics.

To summarize, we are looking for:

An agreement on the time and date
Topics desired
Presentors
Ideas for technology to be used
Other

12:00 PM in what time zone?

I'm all for a  virtual gathering.  This could be much larger than 
in times past going that route.

Ah, my bad 12:00 Pacific time

Brian and I are in Central zone.

Then we get to sleeep in :)

Or you have more time to prepare!

Same thing :)

Ah, to program in your sleep...

Heh.

ATT Livemeeting?
