Hi Dave

This is our entry Video of my multimedia electronic students.
We have currently eleven apprentice, in our electronic laboratory, age ranges from 16 to 20.

After the four year apprenticeship they will finally graduate as professional Multimedia Electronic Technician.
Two days they are studying theory at a TAFE, three days they are in our workshop.

We had much fun in filming this movie and a lot of laughter between it!

Have fun Albert

Honest, I really did make a video.
It has all the stuff, sad moments, happy memories, and even plea for help!
The only thing missing from my video is someone forum smart enough to upload video with this post, GREAT SCOTT!

Hey Dave, the oscilloscope with built in function generator upgrade for my home workshop would really go down well. Cheers from South Africa.

Dave thank for sharing, but only in the last page and giving it to the newcomers like 1 posts in here

But of-course it's your decision and thanks for sharing

The minimum post requirement was only for the forum post random pick. There was no such requirement for this part of the giveaway, no minimum value for the Patreon draw and no requirements at all for the YouTube draw (although a means to contact became a necessary factor).

The fact that the prizewinners were students is no surprise. If you have noticed anything about Dave, you should have picked up on his interest in nurturing the next generation of EE's.

It should also be noted that Dave would have liked to have given away many more prizes - so the two winners were just the fortunate ones.

This video contest had nothing to do with being a forum member, it was open to anyone, the forum was just a convenient place to consolidate all the entries.
What do you mean "last page"?

Thank you so much Dave. I will make the best use of it.

There are an awful lot of actual contributors that... you know.. actually contribute instead of drop in to e-beg. One post? Bullocks.

The bulk of people played by what we thought were the rules -- more than one post, obviously being a point in the previous forum submission drawing. Feels a bit like having goal posts moved to be honest.

But hey, there's always this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sri_Lanka_and_state_terrorism

Housedad · « **Reply #118 on:** April 10, 2019, 06:46:23 pm »

All right, Dave!!!

Great choices!

I think they will learn a lot and have something to spur them on in their work and educations.

There was NEVER a requirement for the video contest entry to be an active forum member. That was for the OTHER content I ran on the forum.
Read the first post in this thread with the rules.
You are plain wrong.
It's crap like this that makes me not want to bother doing these sort of giveaways at all in the future, you are ruining it for everyone. I put a lot of time an effort into this with practically zero benefit to me, and all you want to do it criticise. But worse than that, you can't even be bothered to get your facts right.

That may be the case, but I think it would have been better for it to go to someone that actually uses the forum and does participate, obviously too late now, but if you are ever crazy enough to do this again, I suggest having the same condition for the videos too, would have saved you a lot of viewing time for a start, if you ignored all videos from people with less than say, 10 posts, that would have cut your workload considerably.

I saw a lot of videos from people that I really didn't think were worthy of the scopes, as well as some where I think the scopes were actually too advanced for where they are currently in their experience, would be like me wanting to get a 20GHz scope... it wouldn't be used.

This was not about promoting the forum, that's what the other contest was for were it was limited to active members.
All I cared about was giving the scope to someone who deserved it and wanted it enough to go to the effort to make a video.

That's why it's judged.
Limiting the contest to regulars does not really fix that issue. If it did I wouldn't bother with the video at all, which is what I did for the other forum contest thread.

GadgetUK164 · « **Reply #123 on:** April 11, 2019, 08:19:04 am »

Both videos were worthy winners for sure!

Brumby · « **Reply #124 on:** April 11, 2019, 10:21:05 am »

To the WHINGERS expressing their displeasure, all I can say is suck it up, shut up and grow up.

Trying to impose your sense of justice on a competition that was clearly spelled out at the beginning sounds like sour grapes.

As I said before, it is no secret that Dave has an interest in nurturing the next generation of EE's. The video competition allowed just that. Membership of the EEVblog wasn't necessary - but it's a good chance they were watching to find out about the competition.

The EE world is bigger than the EEVblog - and it would seem rather obvious that Dave is well aware of this and is happy to engage with anyone who has the interest - and in the case of this competition, the energy to put together a video - rather than hold a narrow, parochial attitude.

Also, by making three of the scopes available to people who were not members of the EEVblog, he has attracted more interest - which could attract more membership with broader reach and greater engagement.

It might save trouble by stating some guidelines up front... aimed at students etc. since that seems to be the criteria being applied.

I don't think that would have been appropriate. While Dave might have liked to see a scope go to a student, as I see it, he could have chosen a video that did NOT fit that profile - but gave a compelling reason for selection. Dave's "conditions" gave him the freedom to choose however he saw fit. He did. I don't have a problem with that.

Dave - don't let the turkeys get you down. There are a great many of us who appreciate your efforts.
