Joomla! days are about sharing what you know with others, right?  How about if you could share that with everyone who can fire up a web browser and find your website?  How about doing that for free....

Some people will know, this year I stood up in-front of everyone attending J! and Beyond and said we would do anything to help the community, and the best way we can do that is by doing what we do best - Live webcasting.  It's our daily job, for example as I type this on a Saturday afternoon I'm also talking to a team who are streaming live from Scotland an event that will be watched by thousands and goes on for a week.  We've streamed live from the USA, Mexico, Brazil, Canada, UK, France, Germany, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Germany, Hungary, Netherlands, Holland, Belgium, Denmark, Czech Republic, Austria, Sweden, the Canary Islands, South Africa, Egypt, Kuwait, United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Russia and China!

So here's the deal. If you are hosting a Joomla! event and you want to web stream it - talk to us.  It's possible that we'll be able to provide you the technical ability to do it, and we could do it for free!  If we have the spare capacity when you're event is on then we'll do everything we can to help.  Even if you're thinking about it, please just drop me an email and I can point you in the right direction on how to get started or the best way to approach things.

There's another trick also.  If I'm at the event - I'll do everything I can to provide some of the equipment to get you up and running also.  Please remember that that's affected by what the rest of the company is doing at the same time..for example at a recent event we where unable to provide equipment simply because everything was in use!

So how many people will be watching your next J! event - the 80 people in the room, or the 8000 people watching from home?

A coffee is always welcome, or maybe some pennies to charge the laptop.
They also pay for flowers for my wife so she doesn't hate me spending so much time on the computer...
