World: r3wp

Brian, we are different I guess. I also hate talking on a phone, 
since spoken word for me can be hard to understand, but a simple 
line of text can be read again and again until you get it at the 
speed that you can read, not the speed that's dictated at the other 
end. I see a big difference there and my brain works just fine, processing 
text. Perhaps it only comes after 10 years of IRC'ing with lots of 
different people.

I don't really care about video unless it's a tutorial where the 
content is shown in at least DVD quality with a clear voice using 
a studio microphone and the audio is properly synchronized with the 
video. Simple plain text is for me far preferable for anything less 
than that.

You in fact remind be of Radar O'Reilly in MASH who once wrote a 
letter to his mother. He wrote "I write to you very slowly, because 
I know you are not a fast reader." ;-)

:)

I tried the wiki approach to live broadcasting, but may have introduced 
it too late to have it in the attendees' conscienciousness.  Whatever, 
it didn't contain the depth of relayed information I thought it had 
the potential for.  Video is fine, but is fleeting (when it works). 
 Liveblogging may be easier to implement, but then there is little 
structure to information beyond time.

Whichever route, it'll take one or two attendees to dedicate themselves 
to relaying information.

I vote for Brazil

I can arrange everything here at the Convention Bureau

In Brasilia, the capital or in Rio

Brazil would be cool :-)

I vote for Rio, then

Looks like mostly 95% of all people than have to travel quite far.

there are more australian rebol users than other countries after 
the USA and France .. so I would vote Australia ... somewhere.

Melbourne, but I'm biased ;)

I thought Czech had more Rebollers than Australia

Interesting question. Per square km definitely ;)

Yes, would be nice to get the conference on this continent for a 
change.

Antipodean Rebols - I'm sure there is more.
Anton, Ashley, Andrew, Allen, Brett, Graham, Colin, James

and a few more on the mailing list ...

My wife is Tasmanian.. does that count?

More useful than votes for locations would be rought statements of 
intent from potential host.

If there is more than one set of potential hosts, we could vote on 
the best / most likely to succeed :-)

ok. What should be the criterias to be a selected host ?

I'm able to organize really good devcon in Czech Republic. There 
will be two parts: the devcon itself and also cool fun part for a 
group of people who want to stay for couple of days longer and together 
enjoy local sights,  wine cellars(Carl? ;)) etc.

If there is some interest it could be in 2008 or later in 2009, it 
doesn't matter.

CZ sounds good to me.

It might sound surprising, but I am for CZ too :-)

Well, I want to candidate Brazil to be the place.

i'd vote for cz, close from here, and finally i get to meet petr 
;)

Yeah, if you put that way, that would be nice. Do we have an app 
that shows where were all from? I wonder if Terry could whip up us 
something? I recall at one time there was a link to a google maps 
page that posted little balloons.

Absolute Appliances 800-385-4032

Oooh. Of course the line above has nothing  to with Devcon but if 
you want a nice stove...

There was a world map at one point, maybe done by Chriss Ross-Gill 
on an old IOS world.

errru has/had one called planet.r I have a copy and put it here  
 http://home.comcast.net/~amigarebol/planet.r

you will need to input your info via the box in lower right

looks like his page page is 404 :(

Graham -- needs an update: http://www.ross-gill.com/r/rebcon-map.r

Any idea why this script is crashing newer View?

The version of your script that I have is showing only the time-zone 
map in newer views.

Whatever the live streaming can achieve on the day, I think it would 
be good if a high quality video was stored for later offline access.

Anton, I agree. Live streaming just doesn't cut it for me. My internet 
connection is too slow.

Also, there must be a mic up close to the speaker---perhaps a lapel 
mic. Otherwise the audio is awful. The equipment needs to be set 
up a day or two before the event, and some testing done to make sure 
everything is working properly.  It pays to have someone with experience 
do this.

Chris: the crash looks like a some strangebug in the DRAW parser: 
If you swap line:
image images/pin prefs/location
to:
image prefs/location images/pin

it works ok

(it has something to do with the path evaluation in the DRAW parser 
imo)

Thanks, Cyphre.  Duly updated...

Brock, I know you don't get much sunshine but your "circle" doesn't 
show up on the rebcon-map. Thanks Chris for this, by the way.

I may be able to help in the video streaming area. Our company has 
encoders that will stream at a lower rate and archive locally at 
a higher rate.

In case you're wondering, I made this map for DevCon '05.

The first one I think... Davis, Rome?, Paris, tiem flies.

I come from the land down under!!  Actually I made a mistake... dragged 
my dot off the screen, thus lost it altogether.  :-(

Oh, I thought you were up in the northern part of the US (where it 
rains alot).
