    Might I offer a suggestion of moving the May meeting up one week so that it is just before UPEW? That might make it easier for those traveling to attend UPEW to make the meet up also.

    I would like it if the May one was moved up also. (If possible).
    Would be cool to attend in person...

    Kevin,

    You may want to talk to Andy about that date... I think he has something in the works too.

    Perhaps a combined effort? Anything you guys do will be fine here.

    Thanks for setting these up - great resource and good to assign to students for homework.

    I made an index of which webinars present which topics. There are lots of holes and probably errors because some speakers were introduced by first name (or nickname) only. I also failed to note the start time for each if viewer want to catch just one in middle. This might be added to initial post: http://forums.parallax.com/showthread.php?128723-Propeller-Meetup-Group-Invite.

    Suggestions for future:
    Instead of starting the webinar broadcast (testing time) with people milling around, make a list of speakers and topics in ppt and have that slide on the broadcast screen until talks begin.

    The dry-erase board is completely ineffective - I could see nothing at all. I think a new black marker would be a help. If you have another camera, it could be set perpendicular to the board, zoomed to just the board and adjust contrast. Smart Boards are best solution, but I think they are over $1^3 so probably not worth it just for this.

    Hey John,

    Thanks for the feedback! I'll get some new markers for the dry-erase wall. I have a second camera but it's always been hard to show the presenters drawing on that wall. I've got some more ideas to try and help with that.

    You can probably update your "holes" with the threads showing details of each meetup.
