[Vanhackspace] "Vancouver needs a world-class hacker lab"

[Jack Bates]

i thought the remote talks were pretty awesome - i went to two,
including jake's

they just ran off brendon's apple laptop w/ webcam, and the room's
projector, so very basic setup - but the audio and video were great -
and best of all, the presenters could take questions pretty easily, so the
whole thing felt interactive

i guess they relied on a facilitator - brendon - to be in the room,
operating the laptop, flipping slides, flipping between skype and power
point

but my takeaway is that remote presentations - at barcamp and in general
- are a cool way to get diverse presentations and shrink carbon
footprint

ps i hadn't seen this picture before and think it's pretty amazing -
