Great idea, Nitika! Are you going to post some sort of evaluation on how it
goes??

Hi Folks,
I was thinking of experimenting conducting online outreach. I want to
try out if we can do an effective outreach event using a google+ (video)
hangout. Virtual outreach has a number of advantages:
* No investment of time/effort/cost in travel
* Personal attention to each participant (because of individual
video/screenshare facilities.)
* No complications of no laptops available at the venue or a limit on
creating user names from a single IP address during the event
* Lower dependency on institutions/college fests to organize an event for
us.
* Not limited by physical presence. Sitting in Kanyakumari, one can
conduct outreach for interested folks in Kashmir!
This is just a trial to test if online outreach is effective, doable and
manageable. This could be one of the ways forward! (Potentially, we could
have more community members doing more events with a more diverse audience.)
I'm really excited. Fingers crossed!
Thanks
Nitika
