Educating the Open-source Community With Showmedo

Although as important as the software it supports, education and documentation are relatively neglected in the Open-source world. Coders love to code, and explaining how best to use or improve the software tends to be deferred or even sidelined.

At Showmedo we believe the community can play a vital role here and also say thanks for the tools and software that make our lives easier. If you have a piece of software you love or a programming langugage you are enthusiastic about, why not make a screencast showing others how to use it? All the stuff you wish you'd been told, the tips, tricks, insights that would have saved you time and frustration.

Screencasting is easier than you think, and we're happy to help you. You can email us for advice or just use some of the how-to screencasts on the site. This screencasting learning-path is a good place to start.

Nice one those sort of thing is a great help for "n00bs" sorry, especially for network stuff where there are so many variables that just trying things out can take a long time and screw up other activities.

Obviously this particular one isn't rocket science but already helps a hell of a lot to check whether one has missed anything in ones set up of whichever program/network or anything else.

Nice one.

Awesome thanks!

Keep up the good work. Thanks again!

9. anonymous Thu, 27 Mar 2008 02:28

thank you for this video.As far as I am aware waste is not anonymous,right ?

Besides it is necessary to know the other fellow IP adress, I guess, in order to add him or her.

Thank you for showing me what Waste is doing and how to handle this program. Vidcasts are just perfect for that.

6. Ian Ozsvald Wed, 01 Aug 2007 04:05

Russel, I've just looked at the official WASTE site:

http://waste.sourceforge.net/

and I don't see a link there to your video. Do you have a way of contacting the maintainers and asking if they'd like to link to the video?

Your video is such a useful resource, it'd be a shame if people aren't benefiting from it just because they don't know it exists.

Cheers,

Ian.

Very nice Russel,

I agree with Lucas (comment 1) Totaly.

Even my non-techno savy friends got it

Thank you

4. Horst Jens Sun, 03 Jun 2007 01:57

Very good and clear video. Please make more videos with such good quality!

3. anonymous Thu, 31 May 2007 17:55

Thanks, pretty straightforward.

2. Ian Ozsvald Fri, 06 Apr 2007 05:43

I quite agree with Lucas, this is an excellent video. I'm very happy to have a Crypto video in the site too (I'm calling it 'Our Alice and Bob video')!

Russell - we'd welcome more videos from you if you'd like to share your hard-won knowledge? How about something else to do with crypto?

Ian.

Lucas Holland Thu, 05 Apr 2007 12:58

This is the way ShowMeDos are supposed to be:
