Nasir, Thank you for setting up the stream tonight - it was great to be able to log in and follow events.
My feedback as a remote observer is as follows: * the quality of the video tonight was not as good as the stream from Will's presentation last month; * The video was very pixelated and difficult to make out any real details. Certainly the slides were indistinguishable; I was lucky that I was able to follow along using the google docs version. * The sound was, mostly, good, but spiked rather disturbingly during periods of applause and laughter. * The chat is only really useful if the comments I post are conveyed, in some manner, to the speaker. For example, a question could be relayed to the speaker as a proxy for being there. However, I know that this isn't always possible - clearly. Usually, though, there are a few comments asking for clarification about a question from the audience that wasn't audible through the audio and at those times it's good to have someone actually following the chat and responding. That's about all. I have to reiterate: it was great to be able to see the presentation. Regards Steve 2008/12/11 Nasir Barday <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Thanks to everyone who came out tonight!
