DavidW waves to Juani [guest].

VanceS [cat-herder] says, "So it actually happens througout Oct 13 in GMT time, to midnight that day"

Andrew [guest] projects the URL: http://bfranklin.edu/gld6

Andrew [guest] says, "that's correct"

VanceS [cat-herder] says, "As it passes through your time zone people in your area are invited to give presentations"

Andrew [guest] says, "We actually begin in the Pacific at the international date line and start there about 90 minutes before 0:00 GMT"

Andrew [guest] says, "That's correct, but for the international community that often means we are presenting material from other regions not necessarily related to that time zone"

Andrew [guest] says, "For instance, Neil Hynd will be presenting something, albeit brief, at the start before 0:00 GMT"

You hear a quiet popping sound; MargaretD has lost her link.

VanceS [cat-herder] says, "I was in touch with John Hibbs about our presentation of Webheads and he said we could join David Wortley"

Andrew [guest] says, "That's perfect, David is the cat herder for Europe"

VanceS [cat-herder] asks, "Would that mean that David Wortley would then assign Webheads the slot?"

MargaretD has connected.

Andrew [guest] says, "I will contact him or have John contact him to insure Webheads is slotted into Europe"

MargaretD says, "ja"

VanceS [cat-herder] says, "Hi Maggi"

Andrew [guest] says, "We have room in the Europe section for you to present"

VanceS [cat-herder] says, "Yes, it's important to me and I guess to us ... that we not be a part of someone else's presentation"

VanceS [cat-herder] says, "But if he is organizing for Europe, then that's another matter"

Andrew [guest] says, "Should we discuss details or would you all rather wait and continue the Q&A"

Andrew [guest] says, "Well as you know as a Cat herder it's not that simple or structured"

Andrew [guest] says, "So there's lots of room for flexibility"

VanceS [cat-herder] says, "Well, we are discussing what we do at this Webheads gathering two weeks from now"

PhilB [WebTeach] says, "Andrew, I'd be knocking on your door too, but just too busy this week. (from France)"

TeresaAlm says, "hugs clarinha and marc"

ClaireB hugs vance

PhilB [WebTeach] asks, "Y'all are talking about pre-recording *voice*?"

VanceS [cat-herder] says, "and what time will it be of course"

Andrew [guest] says, "It will be listed and sent out globally as WEBHEADS"

VanceS [cat-herder] says, "actually I think I was offered a 14:00 time, which is actually a little after our class, but not out of the question for us"

Andrew [guest] asks, "Would you like to see and hear what BJ pre recorded, and keep in mind her recording was only limited by her not by the possibility to make it longer?"

VanceS [cat-herder] says, "Yeah, you place a phone call to record your presentation Philip"

Andrew [guest] says, "Or you can come into our webcast portal which BJ and David have used before and I can record you Voice over IP"

guest has connected.

guest says, "cici"

guest says, "cici chen"

You hear a quiet popping sound; SRI_14 [guest] has disconnected.

PhilB [WebTeach] asks, "Vance, sounds expensive! Wouldn't it be better to zip up a .wav?"

Andrew [guest] says, "It's very easy and doesn't cost anything if you use our voice over IP application, it's just click on a link, load a java applet onto your Internet Explorer browser and enter your screen name and you are in our webcast portal where you can talk over the internet at no cost"

DavidW says, "It worked quite well the time I tried it with BJ and Andrew"

PhilB [WebTeach] says, "Andrew, sounds good. I have to go, but I'll ask BJ for details later."

PhilB [WebTeach] says, "Ciao, y'all."

You hear a quiet popping sound; PhilB [WebTeach] has disconnected.

Andrew [guest] says, "Ciao"
