I think that we can work out a solution so that every room at the PTG
has a live stream
going with the ability of people to join remotely.  This would be
hugely beneficial for
those who are unable to attend as they'll be able to join the room and
be part of the
discussion.

I can imagine that it involves quite a bit of logistics, but with the
right planning and
testing, I think it could work out great.
