Because I want to allow the session to be participatory and allow folks to get their questions answered.

Also, this is the first online course I've ever taught... my ability to learn about how well the course works is better with fewer people.

Let me see how the first session goes.  If it goes well, I'll be offering more sessions (once or twice a month) and perhaps on varying topics.

Will these sessions require a Windows machine or are will they work with
open source video conferencing. (I know it's fully booked now)

Thanks,

Bryan Hunt

[David Pollak]

The training is done via GotoTraining and requires either a Mac or Windows.  I did a test yesterday (thanks Tyler!!) between the Windows machine I'm using to present and Tyler's Mac and it worked flawlessly (including 2-way screen sharing where I could edit things on Tyler's screen).

I chose to present using a Windows machine because (1) I can record the sessions (the recordings will only be published if everyone in the session agrees to allow publishing) and (2) my Windows machine is much faster than my 4 year old Mac.  The down side is that I had to move my dev environment (git, emacs, sbt, ensime, etc.) over to Windows which was non-trivial.

So, sadly, one cannot participate in the online training sessions with a Linux or Solaris machine... and that's real sad for me because I primarily use Linux.

Thanks,

David

The quality of GoToMeeting has dramatically improved since I last used it.

Looking forward to Tuesday.

[Andy Czerwonka]

I'm in for sure for the next session.

[Chris Reeves]

This is slightly off topic, but I ran across StackVM a few months back
and thought it'd make a slick training/presentation tool along with
something like skype. It's effectively a comet based vnc client that
runs in the browser and connects to virtual machines on the server. I
don't know if you've seen it before, but there are demo videos at
http://stackvm.com/

Thanks, Chris

Damn, I'm going to have to install a throwaway Win 7 onto a VM. I spent
2 months using a Windows development machine with Cygwin and I just
couldn't hack it ;) (In the sense of cope with)

[David Pollak]

Yeah... I'm with you.  Perhaps this is an excuse to buy a Netbook and install Hackintosh... ;-)

By the by, I use WebEx a lot corporately, and that works fine for Mac
+ Windows + Linux / Unix (as far as im aware at least). Over the past
few years I have found webex to be most excellent and broadly
compatible with all platforms.

Cheers, Tim

[Maarten Koopmans]

The session was sold out before I could reply... If that's a problem
(popularity!) then maybe offering paid screencasts like peepcode.com
does as well would be a good idea.
