I was more curious that Microsoft would be willing? But I'm curious, why do you think holding it at Microsoft would be a bad idea? How many people on this list use Microsoft SQL Server? How many people on this list use Windows XP ? Microsoft going after the similar markets as Adobe is a bit of a worry, but maybe having it at Microsoft would expose more Microsoft people to the wonders of Adobe? Provided there are no strings attached, its just another venue. Not saying QLD CFUG will ever be held at Microsoft, but who knows? Anyway, I think the current location is great. Cheers Gareth.

There is no good reason I can think of that Microsoft would allow this except for the obvious.   Try contacting Adobe and see if they have an office you could use.   Regards Dale Fraser   http://dale.fraser.id.au/blog   From: cfaussie@googlegroups.com [mailto:cfaussie@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Gareth Edwards Sent: Tuesday, 13 March 2007 8:37 AM To: cfaussie@googlegroups.com Subject: [cfaussie] Re: QLD CFUG March meeting announcement.   Microsoft would commit to holding an Adobe user group at one of there offices? with no strings attached? Brisbane HQ? Is that in the City? Cheers Gareth.

They have a common problem, working in a place where they don't have wireless access, and while there's a computer in the room which does have net access, it belongs to the facility and they don't want any software installed, so the presenters instead just plug their laptops into the projector. All that makes recording using tools like Breeze/Connect/LiveMeeting impossible.   We did discuss options for recording "off-line", using tools such as Camtasia, CamStudio, and so on. He will consider those, but then you're talking about installing s/w on the presenter's laptops, and they have to have time to become familiar to do the recording, plus they would be big (though both the above can compress to SWF when done). Then you have to find a place to host the recordings, and I recommended Google video, which has no time limit like youtube and aol video. We shall see if they can do it. I'll understand if they can't. I'll be writing all this up in a blog entry to offer the suggestions to other CFUG organizers.   /Charlie http://www.carehart.org/   -----Original Message----- From: cfaussie@googlegroups.com [mailto:cfaussie@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Scott Barnes Sent: Sunday, March 11, 2007 5:18 AM To: cfaussie@googlegroups.com Subject: [cfaussie] Re: QLD CFUG March meeting announcement.     Yeah record it damnz it ... I could offer up office live recordings lol...   Barry: You've got the mics, I can go out tommorow and grab a decent web cam?   On 3/10/07, Charlie Arehart <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:     I don't want to give up too easily. :-) When you say you "don't think it is really practical to record our user group meeting's content", what do you mean? Do you really mean something about the content? Or the typical presenter's setup? Or the environment?   I mean, if you've got a laptop with a mic, and an internet connection, that's all you need. You start the meeting in Connect, and hit record. You don't need to bother with letting others join in, if that's a concern. And you DEFINITELY don't need to worry about a camera for video. All people care about is the presenter's screen and voice.   Not trying to be pushy, but that just sounds like a great session, so it would be wonderful to see it recorded.   /Charlie http://www.carehart.org/   -----Original Message----- From: cfaussie@googlegroups.com [mailto:cfaussie@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Gareth Edwards Sent: Friday, March 09, 2007 4:27 PM To: cfaussie@googlegroups.com Subject: [cfaussie] Re: QLD CFUG March meeting announcement.     Doubt it Charlie. We have used Connect in the past to do an online user group presentation. I don't think it is really practical to record our user group meeting's content.   Cheers Gareth.   Charlie Arehart wrote:       Hey, Barry, will you be recording this using the free Acrobat Connect account that Adobe permits user groups to use? If you guys need any help being able to that, just let me know. This sounds like a very compelling presentation. :-)   /Charlie                   -- Regards, Scott Barnes http://www.mossyblog.com                   --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "cfaussie" group.
