VMs: Remote presenters... any volunteers?

[Nick Pelling <incoming@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi everyone,

Here's another idea - our mini-conference could have a number of remote 
presenters (ie via web-cam) projected onto one screen, with some fiendish 
mechanism for controlling the slides (perhaps as web-pages?) on another screen.

Then, anyone here with a webcam and broadband could be a remote presenter - 
and if your setup doesn't have both, then you could either temporarily 
hijack a friend's PC which does, or even go to an Internet cafe and give 
your presentation from there. We'd also set up a back (return) channel so 
that we could get some kind of interaction going - it wouldn't be 
presenting completely "blind".

Technical concerns aside, who here would be interested in giving a 
15-minute paper / presentation remotely?

Cheers, .....Nick Pelling.....

PS: while going 100% virtual might be where we end up - perhaps for 
VMS2004? - I think we'd need to get there one step at a time, as the 
technology involved is still relatively flaky. :-o
