[YLUG] Talk slides, next social, next talk

Tue Feb 2 14:54:01 UTC 2010

What I've found (and we've been giving lectures to the other side of
the country using this method) is that a very good basic model for
giving remote talks is:

1) live audio stream
2) most digital stuff (slides or live demos) will transmit well with
an adequate connection over VNC.

What I don't know of is a public VNC server that we could legitimately
use for this purpose, so I'll just ask if anyone has a machine which
could relay stuff to those offsite.
If not, then for talks without demos, upload slides and then say "next
slide" every now and then would work, but is far from desirable.

As for a live audio stream, I'm sure that someone with a laptop might
be capable of doing that to poor but probably good enough quality with
a basic headset mic.
