I agree that meeting can bring more value to their attendants than webinar. But in my opinion they can be fully paid by their participants. On Mon, Oct 3, 2011 at 4:42 PM, Erik Bais <erik@bais.name> wrote:
Hi Jared,
The RIPE meetings are mostly taped and broadcasted online already ...
The benefit of having the RIPE meetings in person is that people actually have a better interaction than with a webinar.
I think webinars are a great idea. It lets all the members go back and watch it as much as needed. Plus it would be great to have an expanded library of webinar training videos.
It is the option of full-duplex communication (the discussion) that adds value where you won't have that with a webinar is my experience.
Replacing the actual meeting itself 100% by a webinar is contra productive I think.
