[Gsbn] Important GSBN News

[Timothy Kennedy]

Greetings Bill and All,

That's Great! Been a dream of mine for a while to document that type of
conversation.

My 2 cents is that I'd love to see topic driven videos of 4-12 people
discussing their experience and interviewing each other.

And if someone is willing to moderate, they can take live questions typed
by concurrent silent viewers that help those discussing not loose the
audience with shop talk and address missed elements.

With this group we could even preload a series of questions that we'd love
covered in a lead up thread.

I've participated and presented in Zoom calls like this and it's gone
really well. And the 800+ people signing up were willing to donate money
for the chance to participate and/or view on their own time. Could fund
some more promotion and code development work around the world?

The West Coast of the US just had its second Natural Plasterers Guild
retreat and it sure would have been good if we could have documented and
shared some of those panels and presentations - Maybe next year. Could have
been even more interesting to have those panels be Global.

Thank you again Bill for hosting us all these years, and for pushing us
toward new successes.

Timothy
