World: r3wp

Did he? "Kaj: The name is already outdated, though :-)". That's why 
I suggested that he just could use RebCon name. First - no trademarks 
involved. Second - RT is not actively doing conferences anyway. Third 
- I had not intention to steal the name. I can easily imagine various 
RebCons around the world, related to REBOL related topics. Of course, 
if you think about big inventions like PMA, CeBit, then I can understand, 
that you can't just borrow the name ....

As I recall there was going to be a Rebol3 demo too ..until Robert 
pulled out

Do you change a name because some one pulls their talk??

I think we should be glad for any advertising that includes rebol 
...

Were there any conferences actually organized by RT?  My recollection, 
faint as it is, and having never actually been to one in person, 
was that they were all community organized.

I would like this topic being settled, because we are getting into 
advocacy here, and the strange reaction came from RMA guys, while 
I ABSOLUTLY don't insist the conference being called RebCon. It was 
just quick suggestion, nothing more :-) We can as well pick-up another 
xy names. My idea was really open, I thought that even RT could inform 
about such an event in the community section. Of course it depends 
if Carl feels threatened by projects like Orca, Boron, Red ....

The only thing I remember from various meetings/conferences is, that 
it gets ppl more closer together, especially due to after-party in 
the evening :-) I prefer 10 ReborCons, instead of 0 RebCons :-)

And if I look into Genesi company for the inspiration, BBRV are flying 
around the world, attending meetings of local user-groups. They imo 
know why they are doing it - to motivate ppl.

Henrik, you need two main archives for the Boron demo. Pick the boron-gl 
archive for your system and use the boron-gl executable to start 
demo/present.b in the demo archive

You need to have OpenGL 2.1 and OpenAL installed in your system

Sorry, it's present/demo.b

You need to run that from the present/ directory

Disclaimer: I presented neither Carl's, nor RMA opinion. (It should 
have been obvious from "I wrote my opinion." above) Pekr immediately 
misinterpreted it by stating "reaction came from RMA guys".

Can we have a separate Disclaimers group?

I downloaded both, but the BoronGL application does not start. When 
I look in the console, it presents its help information there. I 
then went into the application bundle and started boron-gl there 
and only then was a console presented, which crashes, when typing 
DO.

(MacOSX)

Then something is wrong with the basic setup. When starting boron-gl 
alone, you should get a normal Boron console where you can try some 
functions

What do you mean by help info in the console?

what normally would appear in a terminal, is put into system.log 
(wrong place)

Odd. Are there any errors or warnings in there?

none

ok, should move this to boron group...

Petr, Graham, you are right: ReBorCon was originally going to be 
an R3 focused conference. I programmed Robert as the star speaker, 
but then the R3 part imploded

Then I thought Boron was going to steal the show, but so far, Red 
has :-)

I agree that it is not wise to use the old RebCon name or the REBOL 
trademark. I'm currently considering to name the conferences RebReunion 
from now on

We want to emphasize the family nature of these languages, and the 
goal of the conference to unite both the languages and the people

Petr is right that the gathering of people creates a powerfully positive 
atmosphere. In fact, organising this conference was extremely frustrating, 
to the moment that I didn't feel like doing it anymore, being there 
was wonderful, and now that we're back home, I'm immediately plunged 
back into the frustration again. It's a rollercoaster

Kaj - just a note - RebCon was NEVER an official name of REBOL conference 
IIRC. It was REBOL DevCon. At least 2005 (Italy) and 2007 (France) 
say so.

And as for me - I don't really care. All I care about is when ppl 
meet. That helps a lot to be more tolerant, spread a good atmosphere, 
and make friends.

Kaj - RebReunion does not sound nice, I might suggest RebUnion instaed, 
if you want to have Union in the name. But - the name is surely not 
that much important imo at least not now, 6 months from the next 
devcon ....

I only remember DevCon's, too, so we specifically didn't use that 
name

I suppose we could have. There's an assumption in there that it is 
about REBOL development, so Carl must be there. But when Robert offered 
R3 GUI talks, it was about REBOL development

I thought you did a talk on cURL binding so R3 was represented

It fell off the wagon due to lack of time. That's why we've already 
planned another conference

R3 was represented on the Syllable live CD preview

By the way, it looks like we'll be able to get a video stream up 
next time

The quality will probably be lacking, though

here's the playlist for movies made at ReBorCon Winter edition 2011:

thanks

FYI, the start of the Red presentation is at 25:30 of "RSP scripting" 
video.

I definitely need some good training of speaking in public, I promise 
to improve that for the next conf. :-)

I could follow it well enough :-)

This is a deeplink to the start of the Red presentation http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6BsQSBCU3Eg&feature=player_detailpage#t=1535s

unfortunately YouTube does not provide the possibility of deep linking 
into movies which are part of a playlist, so context of playlist 
gets lost

here are the movies in Ogg-format:
http://tinyogg.com/watch/rbMqR/
http://tinyogg.com/watch/Tu5o0/
http://tinyogg.com/watch/71rlS/

For some reason the last presentation doesn't want to be converted 
by TinyOgg, maybe the movie is too long

Added the videos to the site

When rebols meet :-)

Jokes aside, guys - yes, we are getting older :-)

Yep, not much time left to accomplish something...

hehe... you guys need to learn how to smile :)
