[Foundation-l] About web streaming in Wikimania

[Luna]

I very highly doubt I'd be attending this Wikimania, personally (too big a
trip for me), but for what it's worth, I imagine remote participation and
community awareness of the availability would be the deciding factors, as SJ
said. It might be interesting to set up IRC channel(s) to run along with the
various lectures; with that done, questions could be submitted both by those
attending the sessions, and by those all over the world.

Barring remote participation of some sort, I doubt I'm the only person who's
more inclined to download whatever's available at some later date, and
listen to them all at my own leisure.
