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
