[PLUG-AV] ADUG(WA) AV Meeting Streaming

[Nick Bannon]

Hi, all!

David and I had a chat - now that he's moved to Exmouth he may become a
keen remote participant to some streamed meetings.

That includes for other organisations such as ADUG(WA) - there's a
regular third-Tuesday meeting coming for ADUG(WA) this coming week,
20151020-1800, hosted at the Perth Artifactory.

I've helped out with ADUG(WA) before and I was thinking I'd like to
attend, I'm looking forward to some details on Mac OSX.

It's not a given that they want to stream the ADUG(WA) meetings in general
or that PLUG can or should help, but David's enthusiasm does give me some
hope that PLUG will get something out of the experience. In the leadup
to the national ADUG conference next year there is the possibility that
PLUG could get some helpers and be sponsored towards equipment upgrades
and such. Certainly I'm happy to show a few more people PLUG's system
to give them a chance to operate and contribute to it, though the usual
time and place would be a PLUG event.

If PLUG's committee is OK with it (we can know by Monday night),
we can see if trialing with the PLUG equipment is OK for Tuesday's
night's ADUG(WA).

This would normally be cutting things pretty tight, but this is not a
high-key event, PLUG's reputation is not on the line and we can treat
it fairly informally. If equipment gets lost or broken, someone needs
to take responsibility up-front and I'm willing to do so in this case.
I'm painfully aware that this kind of she'll-be-right would often not
reassure me in the slightest, happily I need not make this decision.

The success of this does require enthusiasm from the ADUG(WA) side, possibly
David or David's friend Andrew, and definitely another volunteer or two.
Trying out a fresh install of EventStreamr would be good:

(hmmm, I wonder if anything's going to be added to:
