<inspired> So that's right, I speak at a lot of conferences. Often times, conferences, parties and events have a projector for presentations, but lots of dead time.
I think a great way to both show off the milkymist and to use it at events we attend, is as the filler/visualizer in between presentations. I'm thinking too how this could be more subtle. We have something silly Barry from Fabricatorz made for the berlin book sprint called http://wall.fabricatorz.com It just took a feed from the realtime book system, http://openweb.flossmanuals.net/, we were using and cut it up with some http://processingjs.org For our http://libregraphicsmeeting.org/2011 conference, we are planning to use the wall software adapted slightly for the event, but just realized that milkymist could be even better suited for conferences if we can put some bitmap image of the libre graphics meeting logo and some simple patch, as the filler between presentations, at the beginning and end of the day. Even cooler would be able to read in an RSS or ATOM feed and use that content in some way (well, that is more for down the line, but you get my drift). </inspired> So, I just wanted to share my thought about this use case. I will try to use the milkymist where possible, but the MM1 as a nice background tool that just works for conferences is pretty cool way to represent the conference and be reactive, plus get some nice big eyes on milkymist at some more sit-down type of events I also see how this could be useful at a home as a visualizer. It goes to where apple and others won't go, since they are trying to sell content on their $99 apple tvs, and we are trying to get more people involved and sell milkymist units. Thoughts? and/or thoughts how to accomplish the most basic approach?
