Is it possible to stream the talks to be able to see them. Maybe a
hangout in google plus?
To set that up one would only need a laptop streaming.
I would be very interested in watching the stream.
Also, if there is funding to go, what should I do to attend. If my
finances would allow me, I would go.
Thanks!
-Adrian.
