ScottBrooks is suggesting that eDome (http://edome.cambrianc.on.ca/about.htm) in Sudbury might be available as a central facility for broadcasting. It's on the Internet2 network with massive bandwidth fiber connections and has a full digital broadcasting and production facilities.

I'd like to collaborate with MichaelHerman (who facilitated RecentChangesCamp) to find good software for holding distributed collaborative sessions - I know it's out there, and Michael has used some of it. It's important that it be platform neutral, democratic, friendly, and visual. Let's see what we can come up with. DeborahHartmann
