Just curious as to how many folks would be interested in a live, online training series -- probably starting with the Prop-1 controller.  I'm thinking we'd use a service like U-Stream to and time the event(s) for 5PM Pacific Time (8PM Eastern Time).  I'd probably give an introductory chat and then answer your questions.

Any interest?

I would be interested in this online training series and think this would great for you to do. How much time would you spend per nite?

Everyone will be happy.

To keep everyone sane I would probably limit the "show" to an hour, once per week.  I've created an account on U-Stream for us and will be experimenting with it.

If you do this, see if you can record the show and allow us to play it back later.  5pm PST is too early for me to do anything like this.

JonnyMac

Yes, I believe that is possible with U-Stream.

Sounds excellent!  Being able to re-watch or watch "on-demand" would be awesome!  Would each session have a specific topic, or would it be mainly based on user questions?

JonnyMac

I will have a topic for each session and take questions -- if possible -- to round it out.

Sounds like a great idea Jon. I'd especially like the ability to listen at my own time preference.  Perhaps a synopsis listed in a new forum area for each "show."

I would also love this as well.  Would you be able to alert users that a new talk would be coming up?  Or would they always be on the same day and time?

The recording function would be great as well and a notification of new recordings would be great.

JonnyMac

I am still working out details and will provide plenty of warning before we start the process.

Absolutely, where and when?
