World: r3wp

he used show2.r last year, Pekr.

Looks like each conference is going to bring it's own learning points 
:(

Carl used show2.r while the 'rest' use 'show.r'...I think.

I believe, Robert was the only one on powerpoint

Next year I suggest everyone prerecord their sessions as divx and 
bring them with them :)

heh, great - why not to have virtual rebol conference then? Everybody 
will buy their drink, install webcam in their room, we can code some 
nice View app for that :-)

has anybody tried skype to listen to the conference ?

nope, behind firewall right now, here on AltME only via slow GPRS 
connection - not sufficient for Skype ...

but I wonder if anyone could talk to Gabriele and ask him about what 
Carl announced - even few transcribed sentences posted here would 
help :-)

skype has chat inbuild too, that works.

Shame about no feed from Italy ...


Petr .... webcam in Rebol may be a bit ambitious .... we cant even 
get access to real time sound. !

well...just hope everyone understand that there are no full time 
event organiser that helps see to the infrastructure needs of broadcasting 
etc.


so far, all the Rebol events are initiaited and organised by volunteers 
from the community. Given limited time and resources, the chances 
of them facing problems with broadcast is very high.


I guess the issue here is more of 'expectation' management  more 
than anything. Give them some breathing space... they are trying 
their best with the little time they have to get the broadcast issues 
sorted out.


Just keep your fingers crossed...and wait for them to upload the 
various speeches to the server over the next few days

..if they could not solve the broadcast issue

yes, that is true ... but someone here was working on fmod ... and 
Carl told me that if fmod goods as good as AGG is for graphics, he 
may consider it .....

Agreed ... Gab has done a great job

we don't want to scare next year's organiser off :)

yeksoon - it is just that from last year's experience, when live 
broadcast was set-up really fast we expected it will be at least 
the same this time ...

Petr .... that would be good .... I have a project in mind (for the 
longer term) for which I need better sound.

noone is imo trying to blame anyone here ....  we are just missing 
news, that is all :-)

yes, I understand that.... I got the same expectation as well ...

.... and I already know the answer - "you should be there" :-)

PhilB: then contact Kru, please, form the alliance to push on sound 
a little bit more - maybe Carl has some thoughts in that regard and 
maybe you can help Carl to investigate some possible solutions, dunno 
...

in a way, AltMe users...are spoilt to real-time access to info.


we can't slow down for a second......hence the cravings for news 
updates 'fast'

so - noone chatting with Gab right now? :-)

.... yes, sometimes we take things for granted .... not letting ourselves 
to think more deeply - in fact - it is fantastic, that ppl from various 
place on Earth can talk one to each other in real-time (although 
in text form here) - 10 years back it was hardly possible, and I 
remember buying one product from Zachary, US, sending them my order 
via Fax, they sent me diskette by post, it came broken, so new fax, 
and I got new diskette with my DOS app I ordered in two months ... 
and I was happy :-)

I have requested he add me tohis skype contacts ... but I guess he 
is busy at the moment.

I guess No news of Carl's speach yet?

maybe Carl just announced that he is selling Rebol to MS and folks 
are really unhappy? :-)

Noooooooo ...... dont say that !

:-)

Wishes do come true sometimes .... even bad ones ;-)

MS stands for Moravia Steel, the company I work for. So actually 
it would be me who would be in charge of further REBOL development 
navigation. Now the question is, if it would be good or a bad thing 
:-)

what time is in italy right now

the same as here - 14:22

i just installed linux skype and waiting for gabriele to come back 
online

isn't it time of his presentation today at 14:30?

2:45 pm to 3:30 pm

    Implementing a Lightweight Network Service in less than an hour, 
    by Gabriele Santilli.

yes, so Gab starts his presentation in 10 minutes, so better don't 
expect him being available for you on Skype ....

still it is somehow depressing to not have even a single bit of news 
available :-))

OK, we are in AltME no.

now.

whopee, etc. :-)

ah, great so ... how? Via GPRS and notebook?

congrats :)

quick rewrite und caterpilared thru firewall?

Notebooks to Jaime's wireless, he hacked in and found an open port 
in the school, and got us outside.

:-) but how you managed to get AltME out, as it needs certain ports 
opened?

Has he cats in his family? sounds like climbing roofs ;)

never mind, whatever - so - what was the keynote about?

The keynote was Carl being very funny :-)

There are about 15 laptops
