Dispointed and saddened by the direction ACI is taking ITProtv
-
Thanks for your reply Don, still love you. I just want to make this the best community out there for IT Pros. I get worried when I see the ITPro.tv name slips away further and turns more into ACI :P I do have to admit I have trouble with change (guess that is not great since IT is ALWAYS changing)
I do like the Dashboard for upcoming events just needs to be updated more frequently think i missed the last few live webinars now because I am never sure when they are on. It was nice when they were on a regular schedule , and the monthly emails were great ... also i do miss the quarterly Q and A with the founders... course looks like Tim is retired but maybe one of the webinars can be a Qand A with you and and ACI bigwig add some transparency on what their vision is for this community
But i want to end on a good note the changes i am seeing in the practicelabs AMAZING... (maybe a server2022 sandbox but 2019 is still what i use most so no rush) and the video production value has been improved so much since the first ones ...
just promise me youll never leave me Don if you go i go to :P haha ...oh and whens the next gameshow

Oh another idea i had to make comments and interaction better ...
Done on a lot of other learning hubs have a comment section on the video page so learners can post while they are watching and the ideas are fresh instead of clicking to another page

Thank you for the compliments and don't worry about me. I'm not going anywhere any time soon :)
I love the idea of a chat area for each individual episode. I proposed that option two years ago, but we couldn't do it with our current forum platform. Right now, the forums are hosted by a 3rd party provider (NodeBB) so we are somewhat limited as to how much we can integrate the forums into our platform. We would likely have to develop our own which, in all honesty, has not been a priority for us.
You're right about the founders Q&A. Tim was definitely the driving force behind us doing those. I will have to chat with Brett, our CEO, and see if he is interested in doing something like that. If nothing else, I could easily jump on air with my leaders and present something. I'll see what I can get done.

I'd love an IRC channel, honestly; I'm not an expert on internet chat options, but is there a way to do everything in one? An IRC channel that marries to a web forum that is also discord/slack chat? I'm just guessing that with the very diverse communities you're training, each will have it's preference for interacting. Random thought.
Anyone going to Red Hat Summit this year?

I was wondering what happened to the live stream. Nice to know the reason behind it. I for one try to come in the forums as often as I can, but even then, with the family obligations, work, etc., I can only make the occasional appearance. I would LOVE a Discord channel for ACI, and would probably use it a lot more, as I'm on Discord quite often. Maybe even a live Q&A session on Twitch once in a while?

The live stream was very costly, about ~12K a month. We couldn't show any revenue action from that stream for that to continue. So a business decision was made.

Definitely happy to see Justin back and on Technado.

It would be good to see more updated content on “in” topics. Automation and AI are huge and the best your catalog has is shell scripting. Sadly I had to turn to other offerings (luckily paid by my company) for things like terraform.

Please do submit this as a course request via the chat bubble on or site. It is not that we cannot make the content but we are focused. If this happens to be something that we see a demand for, it makes sense. But Automation of what? Using AI towards what purpose. What do you want to see with teraform? These help us to know.
