Here are feedback notes about the SHARE videos, recorded live at SHARE in
Boston, that are posted on www.ispw.ca/share . Some notes include comments
about how much people say they would be willing to pay if this became a
serious offering.
Please note - cost has not been decided. This is a SHARE User Group
management decision.
The notes below dated June/July came in before SHARE in Boston. We were
polling to see if it would be worthwhile to take the time and trouble to
record the sessions. The notes in September/October are after SHARE Boston,
and are comments about the 23 videos that were subsequently posted.
Some of these comments are from the ISPF List Server and some are from
IBM-Main. Some notes were sent to email address [EMAIL PROTECTED] I
have blanked out the names for privacy reasons.
Thanks to everyone so far for their feedback. Based on this, it looks like
we will expand the number of videos recorded at the upcoming SHARE in
Seattle, which is March 5-10.

Internet sessions would be very welcome as I and my colleagues may be
restricted from travel in the future. We usually have at least people
attending and we get the SHARE discount. Maybe there can be some
further discount for people that would like to attend sessions but can
not travel and those that do travel. I have already missed two SHAREs
that I wanted to attend for SCLM sessions. I would love to be able to
hear them at my leisure. Thanks for the opportunity to share my
thoughts.

I like the idea (especially since I can usually only attend 1 Share per
year
due to travel costs).
Would it be possible to have a designated person (like the session
chairperson) with a laptop at each session to send email questions if
someone decides
to watch during the actual presentation? The email address for questions
could be publicized at the beginning of each session. Even though email is
not
always instantaneous, it provides a reasonable effort for virtual attendees
to ask questions.
How would SCIDS work? ;-)

Ok I'm interested, I'm just not sure if I can wring any cash out of
management's cold dead hands to fund my membership in SHARE.
Does being a full-time employee of a SHARE-member company confer any
rights, or is it pay-per-head?

In my opinion these streaming videos of the Share sessions are the best
thing since the HASP sing-a-long at Thursday night's SCIDS. I missed some
of these sessions to attend others in the same time slot. Now I can
"attend" them at home. I hope even more get recorded at the Seattle SHARE.

This is excellent!
Currently not a member of SHARE because, attendance not sponsored by
company
and disembodied Handouts too often too ambiguous.
If this was a common feature, a case for SHARE membership could be more
easily made.

Thanks for publishing the Share Videos
The ISPF Hidden Treasures pair were great.
I haven't yet seen all the rest.
I have not yet been able to attend a real SHARE conference.
so these presentations are really valuable

I have in the past paid much more for training videos.
I am fairly certain that $500 wouldn't scare away our procurement folks.
It sounds like a great idea to me.
Perhaps some of the videos could be online to give us a "taste" of the
quality
of the presentations and thus help make the case for paying for all the
presentations.
Some Ideas for topics:
I don't know if you have "MVS/JES/CICS System Programmer Bootcamps" but
something like that would be very valuable. Something which would help an
NT or Linux SysAdmin bootstrap himself into being useful as a System
Programmer.
(Maybe a session on experiences running/purchasing Z/OS on Flex/ES or
Hercules).

Awesome! Yes, I personally would LOVE to see more sessions recorded.
Budgets being what they are (i.e., tight as a drumhead), it is nonetheless
entirely possible to justify a nominal cost for access to the recorded
sessions by spreading it over many developers, thus providing quality
education for many more people than could possibly attend the RL sessions.
Bravo!
A request for future recordings: Provide a floating microphone (bluetooth
technology would help here) to record audience questions. In the first one
I listened to, you could hear the speaker quite clearly, but the questions
were pretty much inaudible. Alternatively, request that speakers repeat the
audience question(s) before providing answers, where a floating mike or two
or three are not feasible (as for large-room sessions with many attendees).
And PLEASE keep the pricing low enough to encourage wide usage -- volume
participation should be the goal, not high-margin cost recovery.
Once again, Bravo!

This is indeed awesome! I think it will fit in line with IBM's initiative to
train z-Geners. There is rarely budget to send out the
more junior guys to SHARE. I don't know how much companies would pay for it.
But, perhaps, if the sessions are bundled in CD-ROMs or DVDs, pricings
comparable to learning CD-ROMs like e-School, etc, may be appealing.

Thank you for giving us these videos. They are very useful for those of us
with no money for training budgets. Will the videos be removed at some time
in the future? (I hope not anytime soon, as I could definitely use the
information in several of these videos.)
A great improvement would be the ability to bookmark a place within a video,
so one could come back to the same place in the presentation.
