Perhaps. We have to focus on the local timetable, and work off that - 
remembering not to confuse and lose our attendees with 'too much tech' 
distraction. So we'll see how we go.

Having thought live reporting through a bit further, what we can do for 
most of our 8-hour lab session (4 on 16th, 4 on 17th) is to run a webcam 
of our SFD gathering, and supply an ftp link for that (- unless SFI can 
sort an ftp server & accounts for teams to use for pix stream up/down- 
loading?) With the ftp link we'll supply our local cellph#, so that 
anyone wanting an interview just needs to ring that for the audio feed - 
and get interviewees in front of the webcam. That way, you can get your 
clip directly from us  - within the timebands we can go live. We'll 
strive for something live on SFD nite too :) and keep an eye out for IRC.

PS Sorry to hear about Steve Irwin ~ be well with the crocodiles :-/
