Splendid grooviness :)

Yes. That would work really well if the presentation has gob smacking
page numbers. Speaker (let's speculatively call him Craig ;-) can say
"As you can see on page 9 .. speak .. speak .. speak .."

Cool and groovy but for live demo of the tools that you use to
work on LDAP how can we get those streamed somehow. That way the
speaker (hypothetically called Craig :-) can go "Speak .. speak .."
while remotely going "Show .. show .. mouse wiggle .. click .. type
.. and on"

You're taking me seriously while I drink wine ?? ;-) Ah, you can't see this.

> Comments?

You've seen 'em :-) Corse if Craig says something vague and non-commital
like "NO WAY AM I DOING A TALK. WHY ARE YOU DOBBING ME IN?" then we might
have to go to plan B which is still in the unformative stage. 

btw Ypur work on speex and stuff for LCA is a pretty interesting
talk Bernard. You could recursively deliver a talk about speex, using
speex.
