"A Day with Scribus" seminar<br>
<br>
Publishing it in realtime with a webconferencing tool as Microsoft
Lync ?<br>
<br>
Dear Ladies and Gentlemen of SCS,<br>
<br>
As you read in the Scribus maillist, the interest in your Scribus
seminar day is<br>
widespread over the continents.<br>
<br>
Do you see a chance to open this event using a <br>
webconferencing tool as Microsoft Lync<br>
or a similar tool, which should be OS independent?<br>
<br>
Best regards,<br>
<br>
Gunter<br>

Gunter, et al,<br>
<br>
Thank you for your suggestion. Up until your posting I had
thought of SCS's<br>
role as being an evangelist for Scribus to the quite narrow (but
hugely influential)<br>
community of newspaper publishers. They are our primary
customers. Most <br>
aren't sure what problem they might have that Scribus would
solve. <br>
It's an awareness thing.<br>
<br>
As you might know, nearly 25 major media companies control up to
80 percent<br>
of the about 1400 daily newspapers in the US and Canada. Among the
largest of these<br>
are Gannett, Tribune, Advance, and Lee Enterprises, all SCS
customers. We have <br>
commitments from Tribune and Advance to send several attendees.
The others are<br>
still on the fence.<br>
<br>
For obvious business reasons we need to (at least initially) focus
our Scribus <br>
participation on markets and technology we understand. That said,
we are very<br>
enthusiastic about Scribus and the Scribus Community's welcome of
us.<br>
<br>
You have my personal commitment to act on your recommendation for
future<br>
seminars.<br>
