Hi , thanks very much for those that attended the introductory session of TERRALIVE.
I think everyone enjoyed meeting each other in a live setting and Tangled Universe gave some great tips. We had some great audio contribution from Danny Gordon and the attendees. There was plenty of debate and discussion going on in the chat window!
During the session I mentioned a discount code that can be used for the main conference GOLD pass ticket.
As a reminder the 12% discount code is this:-
terralive12And you can apply this to the GOLD pass which you can book here, which will include five webinar sessions and free content to download from New World Digital Arts.

You can now watch the a recording of the introductory session right now and see what the fuss is all about. The audio starts a few seconds into the playback. Just click on the link below:-https://www.fuzemeeting.com/replay_meeting/9ccbddb1/3182003You'll be able to reveal the Chat Window and Attendee List by moving your mouse to the left hand edge of the recording window.
If you enjoyed the webinar and are considering the main conference, please spread the word and write an email to any buddies you have and let them know about the experience. It would be great to have at least as many participants at the main conference. I'm happy for you to publish the discount code to others, whilst it is in effect.
There is a feedback post already started by Tangled Universe at the Planetside forums. By all means add to this discussion thread.
http://www.planetside.co.uk/forums/index.php?topic=15485.0For the main conference I think there are a few improvements that I could help with:-
1. Have a 30 minute session on Sunday the 13th of January for all attendees of the main conference for a pure technical check to establish their audio. This will give a number of working days to ensure any harder issues are sorted out on individual PCs or other devices.
2. Invite attendees to join up at least 20 minutes beforehand and have them address me, or call Fuze Support directly to sort out glitches especially audio.
3. Check that Fuze Meeting runs okay on your machine using this facility:
http://www.fuzemeeting.com/files/ookla/PROD/Detector.html4. Invite attendees to use the FUZE MEETING tutorial before the conference takes place, so they could grapple with audio and other options. I did publish the URL to members of the mailing list, but I think this may have been missed by some.

6. To mute all attendees audio output until we get to specific points in the webinar. This should prevent the echo that we had on a few occasions.
Let me know and Tangled Universe of any other feedback you have.
