[Ica-osgeo-labs] OpenGIS Webinar Series

[Suchith Anand]

Hi Cameron,

Thanks. I am ccing this to labs list as your queries are of interest to others in our group. Please find my answers below

What size of audience do you expect?  - We are expecting around 500-1000 participants for our webinars . This estimate is based on the stats provided by Eduardo on previous webinar attendance plus our plans to disseminate this through both ICA and OSGeo channels. Also as the webinars will be in English it will have a global audience. 

What time/timezone do you expect to present within? As per Eduardo mail, the webinars are usually held at 14:00 UTC. We can discuss with MundoGeo for rotating timezones.

What technology do you expect to make use of for the webinar?  MundoGeo will provide the webinar platform , so i think they will be using  Gotomeeting http://www.gotomeeting.com/fec/webinar  (Eduardo,please correct me if i am wrong). 

Do you intend to make use of video (of the presenter)? It is not mandatory as slides and audio is fine but if the presenter has webcam and wishes to use video then it is fine.

Do you intend to record the session?  Yes, we need to record the presentation to archive it and make it available to wider community. We can have the webinar recording links stored at both MundoGeo website and OSGeo site . For the time being, i will setup a wiki site for the webinars. Once Manuel and Rafael gets our website ready, we can add links of the Webinar recordings there.

Suchith
