Re: 1511 is open sourcing! (Buildseason webcast)

Reasons why people will watch

We have an extensive network of students, alumni, mentors, parents, as well as other teams that we try to help as much as possible. This allows people to participate in our build season process from other states and potentially other countries. I think that this tool will be helpful especially for rookies.

Lets say you want to bounce ideas off of another team or have a question that needs to be answered immediately well just type it in and we will discuss it live!

It is not something you need to sit down in front of for 9 hours. Teams may find that they keep it up on a computer during build season and check in from time to time much like we use this website.

Most importantly it is a ton of fun!

FYI David between 10 - 15 people were watching live during the day. Also being archived means that even if they conflict you can watch key parts later. At first some people (me included) didn't know how it would work or how successful it would be, but now I am a believer. Hopefully David you will keep an open mind and see for yourself that this is pretty cool. Let me say that this is HUGE! A big thanks to "Waffles" for making this happen!
