At the bottom of the page it says "Current UTC (or GMT/Zulu)-time 
used: Saturday, December 27, 2008 at 18:12:34" (right now)

Oy, need to get a move on...
(not confused, just running late...)

Chris, it would be cool to add a count down timer on the website 
though, and easy to do...
Chris

Sure, where's the code?
Reichart

May I suggest that the following be added to the home page of REBOLConf.info 
website:

- Much bigger date and time.
- Link to the video conference.
- List of known speakers.

I'm working as fast as I can with the info (still have a prez to 
write too).

Sunanda, that looks like a nasty one.

Chris, your site also needs a link to the conference location, perhaps 
in the Where section.
Nevermind, Reichart already mentioned that.
Chris

Please feel free to add!!!
I am only working on the front page.  All others need content.

I don't know the url of the video conference. That is why I was looking 
at your site in the first place (though it's nice).

It's above in this chat.
I need: a countdown timer that sits in an external file, is invoked 
with startTimer('date and time string'); and changes the text content 
of <span id="counter">.  That is all.  Otherwise, no timer...
I need, a Schedule.
http://2008.rebolconf.info/on/Schedule
I need: short Bios on speakers: http://2008.rebolconf.info/on/People
A brief rundown of REBOL resources here: http://2008.rebolconf.info/on/Learn

I put the link out there for where. I can't find the schedule anywhere.

What schedule there is has always been here in AltME - REBOL3 - Checklist
Chris, if you click on my presentation, all my information is in 
there.  Photo, Bio, Topic, and Description.

I never even knew there was checklists  for REBCON until now.  Thanks 
Reichart.
Chris, I would update it with that info but not sure how the snippet 
works.

It's just a stripped down version of make doc.

Reichart, are you going to present first?
Reichart

Any reason not to?


If only I could figure out how to insert a carraige return after 
the image on teh front page in the reduced MakeDoc command set....

Were using the chat built into the website correct instead of ALTME?

I'd think this is a better channel for the chat.....At least for 
the stuff you want published on the web.
Reichart says better for him to chat via altme.....either this group 
(which is public) or the private group.
Other presenters may prefer other ways of interacting with them.

The live group has been closed, and will reopen when we do another 
conference.
Chris, may I suggest we set up the wiki website such that at the 
top is a given even (Name + Date) and that everything else be put 
on one big page.  

This has a lot of advantages.  This is not to say people can't put 
things on other pages, but if we do it this way, everything can be 
in one place.

You come to the Home page, then click on the event you are interestested 
in, and that is it.

There's a lot to that.  I was kind of using the DevCon '05 as a model 
(my fav so far) where all the info is knee deep on the front page 
with more detail on sub pages.
I set aside too little time for this one (not intentionally), though 
not too bad for a rush job...
Note: http://2008.rebolconf.infois still editable by those that 
have registered.  The auto redirection will turn off shortly and 
http://rebolconf.infowill point to the future.
Btw: it seems that the url for the 2007 DevCon has changed.  I'll 
try and keep http://2007.rebolconf.infopointed to the correct site...


Alternately, if whoever maintains the 2007 DevCon pages wishes me 
to host them under the above address, I'll be happy to...
Reichart

Yeah, it would be cool to build the list on your page so that we 
refer or copy over old stuff.

Thanks to everyone who made DevCon2008 a reality.

A couple of follow-up points:


-- How about doing an eDevCon twice a year, whether or not there 
is a physical one too.

-- And plenty more notice so some Devolunteers can help with with 
set-up and promotion.


-- Chris's presentation would have seriously benefited from some 
sort of screen reader / whiteboard system....A camera pointing at 
the screen was not ideal.
