Hi!<br>
<br>
looks like the system requirements for the platform chosen for the webinar do not support Linux.. I just received the confirmation email with the specs. I mean, are you kidding?<br>
<br>

<br>
Work-arounds (or lack thereof) aside - the "are you kidding" comment still applies. Just as a not, webex DOES support Linux.<br>
<br>
This is absurd.<span class=""><font color="#888888"><br></font></span><div class=""><div class="h5"><br></div></div></blockquote><div><span style="color:rgb(68,68,68);font-family:arial,sans-serif;line-height:16px">I apologize if</span><span style="color:rgb(68,68,68);font-family:arial,sans-serif;line-height:16px"> i </span><span style="color:rgb(68,68,68);font-family:arial,sans-serif;line-height:16px">sounded</span><span style="color:rgb(68,68,68);font-family:arial,sans-serif;line-height:16px"> too “</span><span style="color:rgb(68,68,68);font-family:arial,sans-serif;line-height:16px">harsh</span><span style="color:rgb(68,68,68);font-family:arial,sans-serif;line-height:16px">” in </span><span style="color:rgb(68,68,68);font-family:arial,sans-serif;line-height:16px">my</span><span style="color:rgb(68,68,68);font-family:arial,sans-serif;line-height:16px"> previous </span><span style="color:rgb(68,68,68);font-family:arial,sans-serif;line-height:16px">comment</span>, and would like to add that I really appreciate the webinar initiative and thank all those involved in that. </div>
<div>That said, my point is that the technology used for deliver OSGeo's message is not a mere detail. Of course, the best choice would be to use an open source software for that, honestly I'm not aware if there are any (reliable). </div>
<div>But, whatever platform you choose, should IMHO at very least not discriminate against Linux users, which are often constrained to use tricks to access other services elsewhere.. because it's simply exhausting [1], and we shouldn't expect to be discriminated against by those who are supposed to deliver the very same message that we do.</div>
