We are looking at the possibility of doing an interactive session using Skype for voice and a screen sharing program called "Show My PC"
http://showmypc.com/
I am looking for feedback as to how many would be interested, how willing people are to use Skype and, topics you are interested in seeing more information about.
Because we have people from all over the world we would need to schedule the session(s) pretty tightly and some coordination of connections to Skype would need to be tested before we actually attempt this.
Our current thoughts about this are:
1) Verify interest.
2) Ask people to download, install and configure Skype or another program capable of using the skype system to do the voice part of the session.
3) Schedule a small scale test with a few people to make sure it works for people. Mike and I have tested the system and it worked well with 1 screen being shared across the net.
4) Schedule 1st session at least a week ahead of time for a Saturday. We are looking at 2:00 PM Central time USA. -6 GMT.
5) Sessions would be limited to 1 hour due to the limits of the free software version we would use.
6) Topics would need to be addressed before hand so we can focus on what you all want to see.
We are also thinking of offering single sessions to single users for specific trouble shooting and technique walk through.
We would enjoy hearing your thoughts on this. We plan to start small and see if this could add another wrench to the tool box for teaching and support of the CM program.
