Hi Bert,

DIPS, who provided the meeting venue and catering had to change the 
location a few days earlier to one outside of their offices, in a town 
called Lillestrom, near Oslo. So we were in a culture centre with its 
own wifi etc, not under DIPS control, and the best we could manage 
collectively was using their office Lync from one of their computers. We 
also had no real control over mics and sound. We didn't do Skype because 
we wanted video as well.

In the future we will need to use something that works universally, and 
be more prepared. Two suggestions I had from people were:

Roger Erens: Ericom Cloud Internet Explorer for Chrome could be of use 
on Mac or Linux.

Jussara: vydio app

I don't know much about this technology, so if someone has a proposal 
for the next meeting, let us know. My preference for how it should work 
is how HL7 Brazil does its online courses - they use some Adobe 
platform, and broadcast is voice + slides and/or webcam, moderators have 
voice and video, and the main audience asks questions and comments via a 
chat panel. It's all integrated. This costs money obviously, but 
functionally I think it's very good.

Anyway, we're doing our best to get all the outcomes documented, and we 
may yet get the recorded files up online.
