Update 2011-09-09: Oh noes! We had a double dose of technical difficulties during this webinar. The BigBlueButton server froze and required a couple of reboots to get it working. It worked fine for the remainder of the session. Thanks to those who stuck around, and apologies to everyone for the problem.

On top of that, we had another recording failure. That is, we have a recording, but it has no audio. And as Remy demoed code rather than slides, there are no slides to share. We can post the recording if there’s interest, but it’s sadly lacking Remy’s narration. Double apologies for that.

Please join us on on Friday, September 9th at 16:00 UTC (convert to your local time), for a webinar on the Geolocation API, with Remy Sharp. Remy is well-known in web development circles, and was one of the first folks interviewed for our People of HTML5 series.

Geolocation is the topic for the September Dev Derby. Remy has indicated that this session will be light on slides and heavy on code, so get ready for some meaty stuff! Then whip up an awesome way to use geolocation and submit it to the Dev Derby.

Once again, we’re using BigBlueButton, thanks to Blindside Networks. (The recording issues with last month’s webinar were independent of BBB.)
