“Pollen Time” streaming event: May 7, 2020

Open otherjoel opened this issue 5 years ago • 6 comments

I’m planning to have the next “Pollen office hours” type event on May 7.

Read the email newsletter for details. Here are the highlights:

  • The streaming event will be on Thursday, May 7, at 7pm CDT.
  • The event will be live-streamed on YouTube: Here is a link for that stream. There is no need to RSVP! Just show up. You won’t be using your webcam or calling in to anything, but there will be live chat.
  • What will happen: I/we will be writing a “Pollen Cookbook” live, in Pollen, to demonstrate various commonly-requested techniques.
  • However, note: I am not an experienced streamer. So I am planning a preliminary “mic check” streaming session on Sunday May 3, at 1:30pm CDT (YouTube link), in which I will be doing nothing but testing my setup, drinking coffee, and taking early feedback and suggestions.

The mic check on Sunday “went well” by which I mean a few people were able to hear my words and watch my screen and said it worked fine.

We started a new repo for the Pollen Cookbook project mentioned above.

Hi Joel,

The YouTube video has been removed. Are there plans to re-upload at some stage in the future?

Kind Regards, Liam

Yeah, I screwed that up; YouTube offered for me to “edit” the video as soon as the session ended. I removed a few minutes of dead air at the beginning, but the result was saved as an entirely new video with its own link. Seeing two, I deleted the unedited one, breaking the link.

Long story short, I have fixed the link in my original comment above. I'll send out another email today or tomorrow and mention the fixed link as well.

Hi Joel,

Your original comment looks to be linked to the version that is unavailable. Is the updated version now at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VGlzbH63WUE ?

Kind Regards, Liam

You're right! I edited the wrong link. Should be fixed now. Yes the one you posted is correct.
