live LiveCode code event #18

[BvG]

Hi passive watchers

Getting two people per week from the community to make a show is very stressful, and we are pondering ways to reduce that load. To keep up the current frequency and amount of content, we would need more presenters, and also someone else besides Mark and me to manage the show. That task is basically equal to sending spam mail for acquiring presenters, announcing the show, and then guiding watchers in chat during the presentation. If you think that could be a service you'd like to do, then please contact me or mark directly.

Everyone here has something to show, so please step up and tell us what you will present when. Please contact me or Mark directly.

As for this event, Jim Ault will pop in again on short notice, and explain a few things about on-rev, server scripting, html, javascript, and maybe even talk a bit about revIginiter.

David on the other hand, will do one of his usual secret shows.

Hello Bjoernke,

You sound indeed depressed.

I was impress by your initiative, and the idea to organize those weekly events. Great idea (and great deal of work) ! There is no better way to learn, to improve skills by "looking" at what other people are doing.

But I think it would be easier for you with a few changes.

-live recording
First it's more difficult for people to set (and respect) a precise timing. Second, real time can be very difficult for non native english speaking people. Third, it reduces the "quality" of presentations (with a lot of "noise", AKA blank times, etc).

And I think those points are valid for presenters and watchers as well !

You would gain by allowing "pre recorded" sessions. And Q&A sessions could still be organized, but after.

-streaming
personnaly, I would prefer to be able to download the presentation. That would be allow me to go back and forth, more easily.

+1 for allowing pre-recorded presentations.
