Re: [Evangelism] Should we be doing things like this?
Hi Karl, It was pretty generic since it probably was meant to introduce the topic of Drupal to new people. The WebEx webcast worked pretty well except for the audio was very faint. I ended up calling in to the conference bridge so I could hear anything. The back channel chat that was on the page was nice since there were some fairly knowledgeable folks in there, most likely from Lullabot, answering many of the questions. The O'Reilly moderator did a good job of picking up on questions in the channel as they went by and they spent almost 45 minutes on questions alone. I think that a presentation of this type that showed off Plone in the same manner would blow Drupal out of the water since we seam head and shoulders above them when it comes to more enterprise features.

I was just introduced to Adam Oram who works for O'Reilly Media in Cambridge. http://www.praxagora.com/andyo/ I did end up chatting with the moderator from O'Reilly and got her email address. We have already exchanged some emails about setting this up for Plone. They said they were putting their webcast schedule together right now for Q1 of next year and were going to see if there was enough interest in Plone before moving forward. I'll keep on top of them and follow up in a bit to we are still on their radar. If we want this then we should probably email [EMAIL PROTECTED] and say we want Plone webcasts!

RE: [Evangelism] Should we be doing things like this?
Thanks for the summary. Just now O'Reilly has posted the webcast at http://oreilly.com/webcasts/, so I'll be able to take a peek for myself. -- Karl From: Calvin Hendryx-Parker [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, December 08, 2008 7:06 AM To: Horak, Karl Cc: evangelism@lists.plone.org Subject: Re: [Evangelism] Should we be doing things like this?

The Lullabot guys are *awesome* marketers for Drupal and spend a lot of time and energy doing outreach for the Drupal community. In general, I think it is wise to emulate their tactics where it is possible. :jon -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:evangelism- [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Calvin Hendryx-Parker Sent: Thursday, November 27, 2008 7:45 PM To: evangelism@lists.plone.org Subject: [Evangelism] Should we be doing things like this?
