World: r3wp

I suspect some rather embarrassed faces will appear in a few days 
...

heh. yeah.

I will assume GPRS charges will be different once you travel overseas...with 
global roamin account etc

yes GPRS is an expensive whay to do things.

Yek. if 30% of rebol comunity whas at DevCon, how many members do 
you think rebol has ?

17 ;-)

within RT?

GPRS is not expensive at all. Of course Roamed it is expensive, but 
I assume at least one Itallian could have GPRS available :-)

o_0

Benjamin - there were 30 ppl, not 30% :-) But even then, we are really 
small imo ...

yes including RT

i did know it whas impossible, i just what to know some numbers

I would think ...30-50 active (as defined by those whom you can see 
on ML, AltMe, QTask etc).


there are those who dun participate as much... and that can bring 
up to 100 or so...

I believe a huge portion of the French community have their own channels 
to communicate

still noone from DevCon here?

dont realy know why ... is 4Am here, so im not shure if im chatting 
for real or dreaming about chatting on altme...

they have much to digest after the DevCon

btw strange France has so large community and only DideC attended 
the DevCon .... I thought that France and Italy are neighbour countries 
:-)

fly tikets are realy cheap in europe thats realy strage, you'r right.

Perhaps the wine wasn't good enough?

Brian:  <I think the lesson for next year would be "hold it someplace 
where you know you can get to the outside world,">

The big issue is that its held where someone volunteered to host 
it. That may not meet everyone's needs, but its unfair to knock a 
volunteer for not doing something no one else volunteered for either.


One idea for next year......a non-attender volunteers to be info 
officer.....They get the papers in advance, and publish them according 
to the conference schedule. So at least the backbone is published 
in sync....... Now, someone solve the interacive bits....But we now 
really need a DevCon2006 group.

Sunanda - let's not just complicate things. If someone can't get 
one single GPRS non-behind the firewall connection, than it is a 
bit worrying :-)

Noone just knocks Gabriele for anything :-) In fact, if I think about 
the devcon in Prague eventually, I alredy  know it really will cost 
a LOT of energy to spend. Gabriele did very good job, the troubles 
just happen ...

Basically we are just sorry it happened ..... but maybe next year 
it would be good to have slides for presentations before the conference. 
With most conferences, it is requirement also ... otoh I can imagine 
someone hacking his presentation few hours before the actual lesson 
:-) We are all somehow pressed for the time :-)

OK, what do you want to know?

everything :-)

COnference was good :-)\

I posted my quick 10 questions, Reichart published them on QTask, 
someone other posted another two ones ...

Basically we saw: rich-text, BEER, rebcode, LNS.

but I may ask them directly right now ....

so rebcode and rich text become natural part of View from now on?

And on the application side: Canvas, the detective, qtask

Well, we saw them.

who did demo of rebcode? Any actual examples of where could speed-up 
be applied?

And REBOL will try to grow by becoming a scripting language around 
a communications product (Carl mentioned in his speech that in order 
to grow orders of magnitude Rebol would need to reach users)

Cyphre did; he did rich-text and the last 30 secs of his presentation 
he mentioned that doing it in rebcode sped things up a lot.

like 15-30 times, forgot the figure.

ok - did Carl mentioned any concrete partnership? What is the communication 
product? Such claims, as rasing x-fold in usage have to be backed 
up somehow ... and was there mention of VitalNeeds? They don't mention 
REBOL anywhere on their website anymore. Was the partnership lost?

The thing about devcon is not the presentations, but the dinners 
and meetings in between; that's where a lot of things get discussed.

VitalNeeds: don't know.

Of course, can imagine that :-)

Communications product: I think it is AltMe2/IOS-next gen.

We also saw VID redesign mentioned - what was basically said in that 
regards? It was also mentioned several times ... any concrete info 
here?

Why do you think we see rich-text and LNS? Because they are the foundations. 
And rebcode is needed for media (speeding up code)

No concrete info; but *everybody* agreed it had to be changed or 
redone'

Talk about rebol/Coop is here for quite some time. If it is that 
- altme-ios mixtuer = coop, I wonder if any work was actually done 
already? (except the fact that LNS are nearly ready to go ...)

No, Coop is a  way for RT to speed up rebol development with the 
community.

ah so ...

Perhaps next year you should come yourself  ;-)

there was also mentioned the team grows - does it basically mean 
that RT has some more ppl on contracts, will have them, or will even 
employ some ppl as in the past? (Holger, Jeff)
