Subject: [April] web streaming the conference
Some time ago the suggestion was put forth to webstream some of the =
conference. I consulted with a videographer friend yesterday and he said =
it could be done as simply as signing up for an account on UStream and =
having a laptop with simple video camera -- even the one that comes =
installed in some -- and the laptop's mic or one plugged into a USB =
port. While this is the simplest solution (and I signed up for a UStream =
account just in case) the picture and sound quality will be about what =
you would expect.
My question to the group is do you have anyone coming to the =
conference from among your group who is knowledgeable about the issues =
involved in web streaming and who would donate their expertise so that =
people who are unable to come to DC could benefit from the conference? =
It would also be great if afterwards we could make some of the talks =
available to watch/listen to on the LASC webpage.
I am in no way competent to head up this effort, so I'm throwing this =
out their in the hopes that among us we have someone who is.
