Thanks for that tip Helen, and a very good point. If anyone in nz is able + willing to research and have a go at streaming off the ichat conference for us, that would be really fantastic - please let us know asap!
(the current board is so busy preparing the official agm documents that we're trying to limit our own technical complexities.) + thanks Patrick for the EVO link, another one to explore. I have long fantasised about finding ways to use KAREN more creatively, having been to some really dire networked seminars using it. There are amazing connective conferencing facilities hidden in rooms on campuses around the country, and it would be great to try using it some time. A problem in Christchurch at least is that the university (where I work) is so far out of the way that holding something deep in a building there feels very inaccesible to our broader public. We'd also like to use technologies that open up opportunities for connection from people's own homes etc and that aren't quite so institutionalised. Let's explore EVO and maybe KAREN for another event though, I'd like to play with a few different methods for various things, and they need to be activated in a more creative way! thanks zita On 6/10/2009, at 9:10 AM, helen varley jamieson wrote: > i can access the irc no probs : ) but it would also be good to have a > stream. another option (more commercial but still free & no > registration > required for those watching) is ustream (http://ustream.tv) - it's > very > easy to set up & broadcast. there is also giss.tv but i'm not sure if > that does audio ... ? > > h : ) > > Patrick Herd wrote: >> Hi Zita, ADA. >> >> For future video communications take a look at EVO... evo.caltech.edu >> >> It is built by CalTech for all the physics geeks involved with CERN >> around >> the world.
