World: r3wp

I am now in Frankfurt, and will be in Paris in a few hours. (It has 
been a long trip - 18hrs.)

Nothing more to blog about at this time.  All my energy has gone 
into the talks.

Talk #2, is going to be very intense. Not sure how it will be possible 
to cover so much information in so little time. ;)

I look forward to hearing about it.

If the talk is not documented, it would be cool to have somoene serve 
as secretary, and get it all written down as points.

The notes are online.

One of the problems about needing to prepare the entire 3 talks in 
advance (before leaving home).

But, I will not publically publish the URL for them until talk time. 
;)

It would be great to use online notes during the talk, rather than 
relying on good video.

otherwise, they ought to be broadcastable with a REBOL program, changing 
slides on a client, when you change them :-) shouldn't be so hard 
to do.

maybe for next year...

It would be very easy to do, and we *will* do that next time for 
sure.

So is the weather always this bad here in May?

Well, we've had above average temperatures in Denmark in April and 
May so far. It's been very dry. I suppose it could be worse in Frankfurt 
than it is here. :-)

ah, so maybe just a storm

The temperature in April here (near Frankfurt) was almost like in 
summer.  But as we had no rain for more than one month, it's good 
that there is now some rain.

I've set up a wiki at http://devcon2007.on-arran.com/(template to 
match the official DevCon site).  I'd be obliged if willing DevCon 
attendees would create pages with revelations and announcements from 
the conference, and also if non-attendees could help keep it organised.

I've called it a LiveWiki, in the spirit of Live Blogging I've seen 
from other conferences.

Should take regular MakeDoc formatted text.

I need some info on when or where and how I should do a video conference....

Reichart -- the official scehdule  has you at 11:00 -- 11:30, Thursday:

Thanks Chris: great idea!

I've updated  the Latest Info page, and added a page about the Library 
presentation ... including a link to the presentation itself. Please 
feel free to read it a ay in advance.

Loved this line from the unofficial description;  "... main aim is 
to keep everyone awake." ;)

Thanks -- I've got to be realistic given the time slot :-)

For info, PARIS time is GMT+2:00.

We are in Paris now.   Trying to locate Cypher and Gabriele.

Really? I thought GMT + 1

'lo Carl ...

Hi Pekr.

Ready for the speach? :-)

Pekr: summer time, so GMT+2 now

ok

Hi Carl, see you this evening for the Pizza.

Carl, i'm arriving at the hotel tonight at about 22

(i didn't know about the pizza party tonight. it was announced to 
late and I had booked my flight already)

i'd guess that at 22 you're still at the pizza party, if it's not 
far from the hotel i can reach you guys there. otherwise we'll meet 
tomorrow morning :)

Ouch! the guy from Italy misses the pizza party

:-)

We moved tot this location:
http://www.andre-latin-paris-hotel.comtel 33 01 43 54 76 60
It is directly next to the location of the DevCon.

Yes, I hope to see you at the pizza party.... it is close to the 
DevCon, and to our hotel.  The other hotels are only about ten minutes 
away on foot.

Shucks, I wish I was there.  I was planning to go, but I have 3 REBOL-based 
products/projects going full steam which have been busy already for 
some months, and have no spare time for the next few months at least. 
 I wanted to show the wireless device I am working on at this conference. 
 I will try to post a video of it in the next day or 2.

what kind of wireless device is that?

It's a display and software which can go into many products, and 
does graphical messaging with very low bandwidth needs.

so you're still rebolling, right? :-)

Absolutely...Once a REBOL addict, always one...no better way to do 
it!  My specialty is in proprietary embedded applications, so nearly 
all of my products never see the light of day of the public, but 
are industrial applications.  This one will be very public, however, 
but I have kept it under tight wraps.   I have several customer demos 
to do this week and next here in the USA.  We will be licensing it 
to various phone manufacturers and remote delievery areas.

hmm, it would be cool, if those devices could run Rebol OS one day. 
With R3 that is a possibility one day :-)

Pekr, you read my mind!  You must be clairvoyant!

:-) dunno what is that, but yes, I might be just that :-)

I especially liked R3's move to device model with a note, that you 
could get rebol console to serial port - I thought to myself - holly 
hell, that would be something :-)

pekr, yes, it screams "embed me now!"
