I think broadcasting our meetings (real video, streaming mpeg, non-streaming
mpeg, NTSC, real audio, streaming mp3, non-streaming mp3, whatever) is a
great idea.

All I'd ask is:
1) the filming be done in a non-obtrusive manner with any necessary setup
   done before 7:30.
2) I don't have to do much beyond sending this email just now.

okay, and:
3) it doesn't bump the nblug.org server's bandwidth over 10GB/month.

I suppose, also:
4) there, somehow, still be a network port available for presenters to use.


All that said, though, I *love* the idea of making meetings available via
multimedia to those who missed them or to those who can't be present right
at the moment.

Heck, get a live video+audio feed and have one person hop onto #nblug to
relay questions, too, while we're at it...  that'd totally rock.
