How to do a demo in Livemeeting
As you could see in a former entry I was a Guest Speaker in Windows PowerShell Virtual User Group Meeting , from this experience :
How to do a demo in Livemeeting :
- Break headset day before
- leave early from work to be in time for session.
- already have traffic jam, buy new headset on the way
- Pff, not bad after all, nicely in an hour before time.
- Connect headset to main machine , hmm no USB installed in RC0
- boot to good old XP partition
- Headset works,
- Live meeting starts OK, not yet time
- Start PowerShell, Hmm RC2 , Quickly install or better to use laptop after all.
- Ok, then laptop so I can also use the headset with skype if Livemeeting audio can't be used
- connected laptop, inserted Headset
- failed to install USB composite device, (Vista)
- Getting time to connect now (1/2 hour before ) ,
- connected Livemeeting ..
- Search Daillin information in mail
- Call in by normal Phone to let them know I'm there
- call in to Dutch number does not work,
- call in to Belgian number, connection now OK but on DECT phone
- Test livemeeting sharing, might be handier to share whole desktop but works OK.
- OK, then try it that way, clean up desktop to share complete
- Listed to Keiths talk on laptop audio, but keep Phone connected (mute)
- my time to talk, time to unmute
- Oops phone connection gone,
- Arg, phone number in one mail or site , access code on other
- look them up again, ..
- Dail into belgium number
- reconnected, PowerGadgets started, chat with Marco OK I take over after ..
- PowerGadget Demo ended
- Started my session, gigaset in one hand typing with the other ..
- desktop a mess share, so only PowerShell again, can't switch app, no notes ,
- OK, we can still start ..
- Show that you protected all variables, what do you do ? ... Mess up there container ;-)
- Ok not try to troubleshoot to much ..
- Start new shell and then reshare it in LiveMeeting to fix this
- resume demo freewheeling, what did I miss
- what was starttime again , how much time left ?
- Doorbell rings, close talk, mute,
- longer ring
- Packet from MS is been delivered.
- Yes, thanks, bye ! ...
- Come back , unmute
- Ok, forgot to show the Links,
- Marco helps me trough in QA with some questions.
- Get possibility to Show my WMI Explorer in QA time.
So I'm curious to see it back, if I still was able to show some the value of Powertab by using it with one hand while on the Phone talking ;-), and will I follup the unclear parts and the ones I did miss on my blog after watching it back.
Marco will Post the recorded session after the weekend see : PowerShell Virtual User Group- chat log from meeting #1
You can see from the summary above that I had some problems little with my connection and demonstration, and there was a slight "wait melody" problem at the start of the meeting , but LiveMeeting 2007 was new for most of us and I think overall it was a very successful first meeting, and hope there will be much more to follow.
So I want to thank Marco again for organizing this meetings and inviting me for this one.
Enjoy,
Greetings /\/\o\/\/
PS Found Firmware update in the meantime, to get headset working.
