Awesome. I'll have to view this I guess, wish I could come in person. What time is this at? Is it going to be a live webcast or recorded and posted online to view later? I think it would be more helpful to be recorded and posted to view later since most people including myself will be working 11/21. Please post some details about this if you could, that would be great. Thanks!

Go to the MAIN MENU BAR up on the top.
Look for the option LIVE CHAT.

Click on that and go take a look around.

 

[Snowfishin]

Awesome idea!

It would be great if someone could tape this event and post it on the forum and/ or youtube for those of us who are not available on the 21st! Kudo'sto Klim for getting something like this going.
Who will the instructors be?

 

[christopher]

[Steelman]

I will be tuning in for sure Hope the chat works better

 

[Ryanlilly]

Will this be recorded for future viewing?

You guys get the chatroom video thing working?

I tried firefox/mozilla, IE, and chrome and they all did the same lockup that everyone else was describing.

All browser and flash versions are current.

 

[christopher]

YES!
The company we bought the software from got back to our bug report sunday night.

We just installed a major upgrade and tested it.

Seems to be working SMOOTHLY NOW!
Everyone in the chat room was able to open the live video stream.

We have dedicated 8 cpu's for tonights presentation.
So unless we get SLAMMED with a massive crowd, we should be good to go!

 

[kidwoo]

Awesome.


Thanks!

So no go on the recording?

 

[christopher]

Sorry, but I don't have a means to stream it live and record it at the same time for playback here.

This is going to be a multii-hour presentation, so the file would be huge.

BUT...

The whole point we are doing this is to see what level of interest there is in this topic and method of presentation.

If we have a good crowd, and everything goes smoothly, we may turn around and offer a full blown Avalanche COURSE online rather than just a clinic.

So.
I am going to TRY and record tonight's presentation on an HD Handycam and see of You-Tube's new LONG video option works.

No promises, but I will try.
