Well, no additional suggestions from me, but an interesting article
"Podcasting hands-on" with a few tips:

Hope it's useful,

Re: [Rife-users] RIFE podcast

2005-12-04 Thread Oliver Dohmen

Hi,


So, any suggestions for the first podcast?


how about a introduction to RIFE, where it is going and who stands  
behind it. Maybe what`s the
difference to other Frameworks (and why we like type-safe languages  
and xml configurations.)


Maybe this can be a little advertising podcast for RIFE.

Best Regards, odo

Re: [Rife-users] RIFE podcast

2005-12-04 Thread Geert Bevin

I really like the format of the JavaPosse, where they basically sit
around a (virtual) table and comment on news/interesting things.
Since the mailinglist has been getting a good amount of traffic since
a month or two, I was thinking of talking about the most interesting
subjects that were discussed there. Also, new efforts like the IDE
plugins can benefit from recent status updates. The same goes for
RIFE itself, and where the development is heading. We can also cover
interesting blogs and news-items that are RIFE-related. Another
possibility is to interview users about why they adopted RIFE, what
they like about it and what they find less well done.

However, I don't think that there's enough material for a weekly
podcast, so I'm thinking about a bi-weekly one. It doesn't have to be
very long either, 10-15 minutes could be enough to start out with.

Sounds good. I was thinking you were shooting for a weekly podcast.


Ok, we did the audio test and found how to get a good quality  
recording going.


So, any suggestions for the first podcast?

I agree, explaining complex topics don't work on talk radio.


It seems that you can nowadays add texts, pictures and video excerpts  
to podcasts that are synced to the audio. We could use that when  
something can't be conveyed easily by just talking about it. This  
should be a last resort though, I think the main focus should be  
radio without having to watch something in particular.

Not listening to a podcast puts you in the minority I think. :)


It took me a while to start listening too, but now I really like to
listen to podcasts regularly.


since I like working with audio, I'd like to try to create a RIFE
podcast with regular content.

Any ideas for this?


A RIFE-flavored podcast might be a little narrow in the scope of
content. What I mean is, I think you might have trouble coming up
with things to write about. Unless you start trashing RoR and other
webapp frameworks and then interview their creators in a
"Hardball" / pundit show style. That would actually be really
really cool. Listen to two people argue about why one web framework
is better than another... Hmmm


That would be cool, a bit like the frameworks smackdown at the
previous JavaOne conference. Setting that up would take quite a bit
more work than just doing your own thing. I do want it to get a RIFE
branding though, for promotion.


Do you think it's a good idea?


Sure. Can't hurt, might help. Could be interesting.


Which topics would you like me to talk about?


Talking in a podcast is even harder than talking in front of people
in a presentation, so the topics will probably have to be shallow.
You're not going to be trying to explain all of RIFE in a podcast.
I know that there are terms and concepts that are hard to vocalize.


Well it's different, but it would let me practice my English
pronunciation skills. At JIA i remember that you ha an idea of doing
a RIFE / tech podcast yourself to practice your presentation skills.
Do you feel like helping out with this one? We could do it together.



 Sure, why not. I'd be willing to help out.


Any suggestions for regular themes or subjects?


As I said above the "argue with the developers" format would be an
excellent thing. Maybe a morning coffee notes style / here's what's
going on type of thing could be interesting as well.
