Re: More COMMON

Yeah, I know about the COMMON stuff...and Wayne's stuff....

But getting speakers to release thier presentations to the web is little
more legal issues than any other presentation.  Just negotiate with the
speaker (something we were working on and actually had done first taping)
and you're off and running...  The biggest issue will be server resources
and net bandwidth...

It's actually easier than it would appear.  The biggest potential pain in
the butt will be if IBM were to call you up and tell you that they didn't
want you promoting thier system...that they prefer their own "official"
websites and channels....

Yeah, it can happen....

Good to see the Canadian input as well... :)

Don,

At the moment, streaming video and user group presentations was not the
idea
for ~my~ particular site - having that on a user site is probably too
fraught with copyright complications. I will be posting, and I am looking
for, System i related user-created videos and marketing suggestions.

As for streaming presentations of sessions, I have some input into that
area
at COMMON starting this conference, and I will be sure to keep that on the
table.

Thanks for bringing it up,
Trevor

Trevor,

one of the ideas we were on the way to implementing on the old
iSeriesnation.com concept was having streaming video of presentations
from
user groups, COMMON, etc.   Where we get someone to do a digital vid of
a
good presentation with copy of handout, put it on the web and let people
watch on demand...

Hopefully your new site can take this and move forward with it...
