Only $19 per month. My sidenote, that is per user per month...50 users equals $11,400 for one year, there is a graph on the left at this URL - http://www.dimdim.com/products/dimdim_editions_pro.html =================================================== "...Dimdim Enterprise is used by the following fine organizations: * Novell * Dell * Red Hat * Amazon * Ohio State University * University of Pennsylvania * FreeConference * Duke..." Possibly there is an existing Enterprise in place which may be tapped into? Above data is from sidenote on lower left of this URL - http://www.dimdim.com/products/dimdim_editions_enterprise.html =================================================== > The things that are actionabl! e here are: > > (1) Figure out if DimDim is in a state where we could successfully use > it to try out a Fedora-like virtual event. > > (2) Depending on the answer, do one or more of the following: > > * Put together an event in DimDim, just because it would be interesting. > Anyone care to volunteer to look into this? > > * Work on making DimDim better upstream. > > * Put together a virtual event on IRC. We already know that Fedora Classroom is a successful virtual education model. We did an online FUDCon a few years ago, and I think we've learned a lot since then that would make for a good event, especially if it was one day with a strong focus, etc. Most excellent actionable things indeed. :v) Please have a great day and an enjoyable weekend! :~) Thank You Sincerely =-=-=-=-= - David - =-=-=-=-= David Ramsey --------------------------------- 猿も木から落ちる さるもきからおちる Even monkeys fall from trees.
