At 4 p.m. Central (10 p.m. UK time) today my friends at 
http://mentormate.com and I will be testing our audio webcasting with 
chat environment for next week's symposium.

If all goes well http://democaster.org will have the capacity for 50 
live audio streams next Tuesday and post-event we will have mp3/ogg 
files to download or stream. (In September probably, full video will 
be available with the help of http://spnn.org for recording and 
http://public-i.info with hosting.)

The general idea is this - folks can listen live (if the timing works 
for them) and during the Q and A session the chat will be displayed 
for all to see as part of a multi-tasked discussion session.  
Attendees (we expect 75 folks) are also encouraged to bring their 
laptops and interact during the conference with the listeners.   

This will be the webcast home page:

We will link up the "Democast" page before the test and announce it 
in the chat channel.

Cheers,

Steven Clift
Conference Co-Chair
