Many thanks to Ginger, Marillia and Bernard for helping me to do the
presentation for "Cloud Computing WS" remotely but in real time. I'm happy
to be a tester of the technologies in use. My user's experience to Webex is
generally good though I could neither see nor hear the local audience's
reaction and my presentation was cut for time constraint (when talking to a
mike alone it was easily to overlook the time). The Q&A session was a little
disappointing to some "remoters", the moderator did not refer a few
questions (including my questions) raised via Webex to the panel at all. I
guess we are still at the test-and-error stage for remote participation.
