What it takes to be Revoluminary: Equipment Overview

Another late night here on the Revoluminary team. Good things, but lots of activity. Thanks again to those who've expressed interest in participating in our approaching beta. We've received a ton of interest from a lot of Revoluminaries, which is truly exciting. Testing is going well, the site is coming together which is really an exciting process to be a part of.

Several of you have asked about what the technical requirements of the site will be, and what they'll need to have in order to participate in the community. The short answer is that just about about anybody can join. The longer answer is that you'll need:

  • Computer with a broadband connection
  • The most recent version of flash (you can update for free at http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash)
  • A video camera and microphone
That's really about it. Obviously you can cruise through the Revoluminary community site even if you haven't picked up some of the above, but to get the most out of the virtual classroom, you'll need the updated flash version and the video camera.

So if you haven't gotten those, go pick'em up. They're pretty cool, and soon will be a lot cooler!
