Default Soaring Webinar, Saturday, March 7th

Hopefully that will go well.

We're neophytes at this with a just a little practice. We are meeting
at NCAR on the 5th for a site and technical test. NCAR has webcasting
capabilities, but what we are using this time is a selection of
currently available services that appear to have both utility and
innovation. Talk about shifting paradigms, these products are moving
quickly, including price points.

Thanks for registering,

Frank

This rocks, thanks Frank! *Am looking forward to it.

Are there any provisions being made for recording the Webinar so that
it can be replayed/viewed online at a later date?

Much appreciated,

the end of each session, you will be asked to complete a short online
survey about experience. *Your input will be most helpful.


Register for Session 1, Session 2, or both. *One of the services will
have limited 'seating', so we will give priority to SSA members, if
necessary. *Register early. *Registrations on March 7th may not be
acknowledged. *You will be sent links and logins for each session.

Technical notes:
Although these webinar services offer telephone conference bridges,
that function will not be used for these sessions. *Your computer
speakers or headphones will be enough to attend. *There is a link on
the registration page to test your computer as webinar ready,
including microphone, web cam, and speakers. *Live chat will be
available for questions.
