I am a little surprised at the shortsightedness of the comment or maybe I just dont see value added tongue-in-cheek.
Sorry, it was intended as a mild poke at Tim's newly revealed sales & marketing skills.
I really believe that if you look beyond market value there is some merit to making ideas accessible to those whose only limit is time and space.
I absolutely agree. I have missed several very interesting presentations, from very
savvy gurus, because of travel responsibilities. I would have loved to have those available online
afterwards.
Since I am inexperienced with organizing speakers for TJUG, I have no idea if they are paid or not and if so how much.
Nothing that I know of. We have all spoken out of generosity and love of knowledge
(although it's been several years since I've spoken :(
If they have gone to the effort of making a good presentation why shouldnt TJUG sponsor it and put it online participating in the revenues it generates?
I would be fine with this, too, especially if it promoted more and better talks.
BTW I not only value a good presentation but consider just as valuable the audience participation, Q&A.
Hmmm...maybe afterwards. In my experience the questions and participation quickly
gets out of hand and interrupts the flow of a good presentation.
