This is not a task that all groups should pursue. I think that there are maybe 3 or 4 groups that could pull this off, and so maybe between each of them, there could at least be 1 meeting per month that is available to us starving VFP'ers who do not have access to a thriving user group.
Maybe they could coordinate this on a rotation so that it was not overly burdensome on any one person or group. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Rick Schummer Sent: Tuesday, November 18, 2008 10:08 AM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: When will User Group meetings go virtual (live on the web) ? Matt, Love the enthusiasm, but one question: How are user group leaders suppose to deliver on value if presenters are not willing to allow their sessions recorded or broadcasted. User group leaders already struggle to get people to present stuff in front of small groups. Now I have to tell them they could be watched by hundreds live or after via video? Not all groups are like Chicago or Detroit where we get sponsorship to regularly bring in "big names" (for lack of better term) that are more likely to allow recordings. So maybe leaders get half to agree, will people be satisfied when only half the meetings are available when they bought a subscription for a year's worth of meetings? Maybe the agreement needs to depend on levels of participation.
