Yamil, thanks for the suggestion and demonstration. This looks like a great way to let people participate who can't be there in person. If you don't mind bringing laptop and webcam, I vote we give it a try during the DIG hackfest.
If anyone happens to have a microphone that can pick up sound from a larger area and can connect to a laptop, it would be great if you can bring it. If not, we'll do the best we can with the built in mic. Thanks, Karen ----- "Yamil Suarez" <[email protected]> wrote: > Karen, > > I set up a test stream this morning for my own testing purposes.
