youtube would be fine as long as they consistently went to an NLUG account that say people could subscribe to. Who knows, it could become a revenue generator for the club. Maybe work on a stylish nlug logo to overlay into the video to improve self advertisement. Should easily allow for David's

Ohhh, ok yeah - good deal. :) Agreed on the value. For instance - I know when I was planning on moving to the area it would have helped to see what NLUG had been doing for topics, just to get a little more acquainted with my future city. On Thu, Jan 23, 2014 at 1:58 PM, Howard White

I don't think that video streamed from the meeting would reduce the attendance much. It might allow a few people to watch that otherwise would not get the chance. It is certainly possible to stream video real time. I have a TV studio that does that to deal with every day. Dave On Thu,

Agreed. Good talks are educational for the entire world, not just for the limited amount of people that are able to attend meetings in person. On Thu, Jan 23, 2014 at 2:06 PM, Michael Chaney mdcha...@michaelchaney.comwrote: On Thursday, January 23, 2014, Howard White hwh...@vcch.com wrote:

I am all for it. (No longer in Nashville) Making the presentations available might get some really interesting stuff from out-of-towners. It goes without saying; if things turn horribly wrong a fearless leader might pound his fist on a podium demanding obedience and end the video experience! On
