[TriLUG] The Direction of TriLUG

[David McDowell]

We record the meetings now iirc.  I don't know the open source
technology besides maybe icecast, and if RH and/or our colo would let
the bandwidth be consumed, but since this idea of multiple meeting
places exist, is there a demand for LIVE webcast of the audio... and
even more, audio/video of the meetings?  either restrict to members
who can login, OR open to the world so even someone in Australia could
tune in if desired.  *shrugs* just a brain dump of a possibility
brought up in the past.
