Online Presentation - PeerCast (Online Presentations, video streaming, radio or regular bhasan) 3. Prodcasting - Prodcast your blogs, minutes of meeting or stuff like that audiocity to record Peercast to broadcast though nothing can replace real word meeting but this can many good effects 1. More meetings less resources 2. More people from all over Internet can participate in an interactive way 3. Our Lug super men can record prodcast, lectures and give presentation more often to much more wider audience 4. Help lug Delhi to get real cool and hip image over all other lugs ;-) 5. I may even be able get my girl friend or my dad to try attending one these (virtual) meetings We have a virtual meeting everyday there. So if you are lay enought to open any irc software and join #linux-india channel then no one can help. Thats good sorry i didn't knew anything about this ... unfortunately I am not able access IRc from my office as all ports except 80 are blocked (is there anyway I can use port 80 for irc )...btw this is generic india linux channel or lug delhi ? I dont think there is a seperate need for any virtual meeting seup. THere is an IRC channel who ever is interested can join. And yes Entry Free!! Entry Free!! Entry Free!!

Re: [ilugd] Meet -- Virtual Meetings RFC
Marketed!!! what are we supposed to do ? put advertisment in newspares and magazines with beautiful models posing against a penguin!! :-) If thats the only way to market that you are aware of, then YES. Otherwise IMHO linux-delhi is a popular website and such info. can be put on it. (If the info. is already there then please reply back with the link, TIA). Well whole list knows about #linux-india irc channel where several guys hang out. We have a virtual meeting everyday there. So if you are lay enought to open any irc software and join #linux-india channel then no one can help. Not the whole list. I have joined this list a couple of months back only so I am relatively new to it. There will be people like me. I have seen mails about the real meetings but none on this concept. I dont think there is a seperate need for any virtual meeting seup. THere is an IRC channel who ever is interested can join. And yes Entry Free!! Entry Free!! Entry Free!!
