Hi Pine,

The streaming youtube link is public. Feel free to distribute it however you like. People can also ask questions on the google+ page during the talk if they don't have access to IRC. I will not be monitoring it quite as closely, but I still will check it during the talk.

As you probably already know, the youtube video will also be public after the talk so anyone can watch or rewatch the talk at any point after it is over as well.

I hope this answers your question,

Rachel

Hi Rachel,

Would it be appropriate to invite people who are outside of the Wikimedia universe to watch on Youtube and participate on IRC? This talk in particular may interest outsiders who are designers, PMs, researchers, or coders.
