teach/lecture a lot in both voice and textual form and it takes tighter

Apache openconference is worth a look. I looked at big blue button but
could not get it installed.

The issue with Google hangout was that is just too bloated.

We also need to get people to be online at the same time so there is
actually someone to talk too.

looking at one for me, I had thought Maidstone Library were out of the
running but suddenly I've heard from them after a month or so and they can
now do it for free I think. They want me to visit to discuss but seeing I'm
in east Kent and they wanted to do this during the working week that is not
going to happen. I need to sort out one Saturday instead to go up to see
them so that may be in the next month or so as I don't tend to go that part
of the county often.

over this weekend as I'm mentoring for work's EPIK coding weekend so if I
can find any other locations then I will give them a go.
