Thanks, Bruce.  While I was responsible for the content, the success was entirely due to the work of Michelle, who helped pulled the pieces together, including enabling the way I wanted to present the talk. I had excellent video and audio because they came from my server with me sharing my screen. 

Michelle was alone on the helpdesk for most of the weekend and most assuredly during the crucial first hours when Airmeet collapsed.  

I do not feel it is too strong to say without Michelle, the weekend would have fallen apart.  When she was host or presenter in a session, you could tell it. That locked her out of helping others in the Airmeet system, and most of the other sessions broke.

The full resolution excellent video/audio versions should be available today, according to emails to the authors sent by Eric.


Those who don't try bold things never fail. The idea behind Airmeet is good. The technology is there, but presenters and hosts are the best people to have total control authority over the display of their presentation session.

Airmeet is a year-old startup and this was the largest conference they have handled to date.

In contrast, I spoke at a recent Debian conference which was handled entirely with Open Source software (Jitsi, mainly) and came off flawlessly. You don't really need these expensive closed platforms.

Bob's talk was the best of the show and came off well, technically, as well. Sunday was sort of horrifying, the two talks I tried to attend before Bob's were N6BT on Vertical Antennas, and one on Antenna Aperture. In both cases the host could find the video, one of them eventually found the video but could not admit the speaker to the presentation.

I didn't have problems with my ticket or getting in to the events, but I hear many people did.

    Thanks

It will be up on Vimeo I think today for attendees and after I let that run until the weekend, my talk will be on my YT channel and others.  

It seems to have worked.

Bob, will your talk also appear on your YouTube channel at some point?
