Yes, me too. I would imagine it's a bit expensive.
In my area of work (Bioinformatics) we have a national "standard" 
database with a complex model which breaks easily. Ron's words were 
like poetry to me - I sure could use his database!

I hope that they get the slides or static copies of the streams up 
soon. With my schedule, I have not been able to be awake and online 
during any of the presentations, even to chat here.

Now finally in state of joining the conversation...
Do you have any feedback about the web site ? I will publish it on 
QTask, for the future generations...
I will ask RT to host the site archive and the videos. My host at 
rebdocproj.org does not allow too much HD space....

hehe, by the lack of new info about R3 from the DevCon (due to my 
insufficient ability to follow spoken English, as well as due to 
no slides released), I wen to http://www.rebol.net/cgi-bin/r3blog.r?index=0
and re-read most of the blogs and its comments, and now I feel that 
so much was said already about R3, that I feel satisifed :-)
well, for few days, at least ... untill Carl is back - then it is 
time to bug him to post DevCon slides somewhere :-)

DaveC:  For devcon 2005 Carl had a script called... show.r.  The 
script he was using this time seems to be slightly different from 
the last Devcon as the last devcon the show.r had a clock displaying 
the time remaining using a very fancy clock.
Henrik
11-May-2007
[2220]
yes, I'm sorry about that clock. I was not aware of the dimensions 
the clock was supposed to have :-)
Brock

I didn't find it on Rebol.org.  You'd think it would either be there 
or atleast accessible from the View desktop, in Tools, but it's not.

I thought you were responsible for that.  Seems Carl modified the 
idea for the new show.r
Henrik
11-May-2007
[2224x3]
yes, an inverted progress bar is more subtle
normally you'd have the timer on your laptop display and not on the 
presentation
oops, its http://hmkdesign.dk/rebol/old/clock.zip

I can imagine complete cute app for DevCons. Not video and sound 
till Rebol 3 and proper plug-ins, but imagine this - kind of server 
(Cheyenne), accepting outer connections. Each presenter would have 
to send his slides to conference organisers, who would put it into 
structure - Schedule, with time slots. I know that schedules are 
missed, or skipped, but once connected, you could see what session 
is actually broadcasted, you could see progress bar of the estimated 
time left till the end of the session, and as presenter would go 
via slides, it would be "broadcasted" to outer world ...
Henrik

[2228]
pekr, to supplement your idea, it could go outside and in as well, 
presenting your stuff on the big screen from home
Pekr

[2229x2]
The trouble is, that sessions are not always like that - sometimes 
you simply show code, live demo etc., so that part cold be troublesome. 
Still better than nonthing ....
Henrik - good idea ...
Henrik

but we have to hurry: MacOSX Leopard's iChat is going to have precisely 
that feature :-)
Pekr

Maybe we would need two beamers - e.g. how Reichart presented his 
stuff. On one screen you could see face of presenter right corner, 
and slides, the second one could be used for live demo or something 
like that :-)

equally enthustiastic at the next devcon

The future  is here, it's just unevenly distributed among pithy sci-fi 
authors
So... what have we learned for R3?

- unlimited words

Good enough for me.
Have we learned what the licensing structure will be? The current 
license has been a roadblock to Rebol promotion/acceptance.. is this 
still the case?

Reichart: you have me sold -- when is 'DevCon '08: Maui'?

Brock: Many thanks for the info. I'll have a look at that if it's 
available. I would like to use something similar myself.

I hope open source part is not GPL!

Pekr; At this stage of the game, I doubt anyone wants to risk losing
corporate involvement.  So I'll add a ditto, me too.

Well, if we can actually get enough interest in Maui, then I will 
get real about when is the best time.  Prob, plan it for when prices 
are cheapest for everyone.

If, I will add a holiday. Hence it really requires a long pre-planning 
phase.

In Germany, do you have a tax advantage (a write off) for travel 
expenses for such things as confrences?
Pekr

[2246x2]
I just looked at flight prices and it is like 1000 Euro just to get 
there :-(
whole Paris devcon would cost me half that price, if I would go ...
