[Coco] CoCoFest Webcam, IRC, anything?

[L. Curtis Boyle]

Another possible solution (depending on the event being streamed) is to just stream audio, with a live irc chat so that long distance listeners can comment/ask questions. That should fit within hotel bandwidth, I would think.

Well, the hotel's upload speed is not that great and you will run into the same problems.  I'm not even sure if we can get one Video stream out to Ustream, much less many Skype connections.

We will need to find someone else to host the call with 7 mb of upload or better running windows.  (Mac and Linux clients don't work well.)
