Re: 2006 User Conference Schedule

Si Chen-2
In reply to this post by byersa
Al,

Can I suggest, for your 3 - 5 PM slot on Friday (or whatever openings):

1.  A presentation on how content management works?  I understand how  
the Websites and Surveys work, but my knowledge of how the content  
manager really works is limited to ProductContentWrapper and to  
generating XML off templates.

2.  Some kind of feedback from the community for us.  I'd really like  
just to have a session where anybody can call in or speak up and tell  
us what they're doing, ask us questions, offer suggestions, etc.  Is  
it possible to arrange some kind of call in number, so even people  
who are pretty far can do this, or can we do it on a big chatroom or  
something?  Maybe out of respect for time differences it would be  
better to have this at an earlier hour?

Re: 2006 User Conference Schedule

Tim Ruppert
I often use a free conference call line that works really well if we
want to try it. I think the phone number is 218.936.6660 - you create it
and enter the extension for your call.

Check it out - it might be a good fit on such short notice.  May I
suggest a passcode of 632491 (OFBIZ!) :)

Cheers,
Tim

Re: 2006 User Conference Schedule

Si Chen-2
So how do we set this up?  Do we just call that number or go to a  
website?

Re: 2006 User Conference Schedule

David E Jones-2

I'm a little bit concerned about a phone call because the room we are  
in is fairly large with high ceilings and a hardwood floor, meaning  
there is a tendency to echo a bit and I don't know how well a speaker  
phone will work.

We could certainly give it a try (might be nice for future  
reference), but I think it would be better to at least get issues on  
the table beforehand. If this seems like a good idea we could start a  
thread on the users list to solicit these topics.

-David

Re: 2006 User Conference Schedule

Tim Ruppert
My vote would be to have the call in number if people can bear it - and
yes it will echo unfortunately - but for some people that would be
better than nothing.

I also think that we should elicit topics beforehand - that'll get
people a rollin'.

Cheers,
Tim

Re: 2006 User Conference Schedule

Si Chen-2
I'd have to call in, since I'm not going to be there physically and  
would like to be involved in a community call.

Re: 2006 User Conference Schedule

In reply to this post by byersa
We're tied up in production and missed this on the lists. Brainfood will not
be able to attend. I recommend sending direct email announcements to
companies with featured solutions in the future. I think it will improve the
quality of feedback at the conference.
