Anyone will be able to join the meeting via IRC to participate and watch the YouTube stream. Sign up if you want, or just join the meeting when it happens.
Hi.
Thanks for working on this. It sounds neat. :-)
I think the current meetings page is desperately missing instructions for joining the meeting. For example, are participants going to need a Gmail account prior to the meeting so that they can use Google Hangout? Does using Google Hangout require any advance preparation such as installing a plugin? Which IRC channel should meeting participants join? (And of course depending on who you're targeting, there are a whole host of other questions like "what is IRC?" and "how can I easily join an IRC discussion [without an IRC client]?", though I'm assuming that since this is a tech meeting, maybe this isn't as necessary.)
I'd offer to help with the documentation/instructions, but unfortunately I don't know most of the answers. Any help you could give would be great.

Last time I tried, Google Hangout required not only a Google account but also Google+. You then needed to install a propietary plugin that refused to work / be installed. That's my experience with Google Hangout.
Connecting instead to a YouTube stream (RTSP I guess?) while reading on irc looks promising.
