Webinars

[Mark Thomas <ma...@apache.org>]

We haven't had any webinars for a while.

Looking at the YouTube stats for the recordings we have had 5k+ views
across 5 webinars which in reality means more like 2.5k people watching
one for more than a few seconds and around 1k watching one to the end.

My view of those numbers is that the webinars are worth while and we
should try to do some more. The current ideas for future topics are
listed at [1]. Does anyone fancy presenting on one of those? Additional
topic suggestions welcome as well.

Great.  What sort of dates/ times work for you? I'm happy to stay up fairly late to run it.

Sure.

Very little. Mostly just format conversion which is more waiting than anything else. I'm happy to do that but I should write up the process somewhere.

Good idea. Go for it.

I could do one or two. Would Pivotal be willing to donate the Webex
connectivity and recording for that? I don't know how much
post-processing you have done for previous webinar recordings, but I
could conceivably do that myself if you have some suggestions for what
to do -- other than of course removing all the lead time waiting for a
few more people to connect, etc.

We might want to ask again on the users' list to see if anyone wants to
add to the queue of topics.

Thanks,
