Title: Re: [amibroker] Re:FT Monitor/AB Conference [was Re: AmiBroker 5.23.0 BETA released]
Don't forget that AB users are scattered across the world in all time zones. I, and some other members of the AB community, have tried on several occasions to find participation from knowledgeable users in-free-for all projects (The UKB is one). While it is disappointing, the fact is that very few people will do anything that takes any significant time, unless there is a financial benefit. Conferences are usually organized to either benefit a specific group or to deliver some personal benefits to presenters.
In almost all cases presentations could have been published with little effort and made available to every single AB users. And without any restrictions wrt webinar tools, language problems, time zones, etc. If you really want to share, simply publishing is the best way. There are several forums on which further discussion can take place and where discussions would benefit readers for years to come - and not just a selected few during a few hours.
I doubt much will happen but I appreciate your initiative and wish you good luck.
