Re: [jug-discussion] RE: online presentations
I agree here. Comments are valuable, but especially if we are recording a preso, dissertations from the peanut gallery should be saved until after the preso and question session is complete. We all know how geeks love to spout their wisdom, even if they don't want to step up and do it in the capacity of a presenter :) On 2/4/06, Thomas Hicks [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: BTW I not only value a good presentation but consider just as valuable the audience participation, QA.

Maybe it varies. I am almost certain, though, that at the moment members who can make it to the preso do not pay. If I am a dues paying member why should I not have the same access to the presentation via an online presence? Why should I have to pay more? If we limit access to the presentation to members only what is the issue? I could see that if we made available the presentation to a non-member, online audience via Breeze(or whatever) then the presenter as well as TJUG would want to charge for this service. OK, I dont see a problem with that at all and in fact is one of the benefits that TJUG has; it has knowledgeable people involved in interesting technology. 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? It seems to me that we are talking about two different but albeit similar services. Steven...

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, QA.
