RE: Virtual LUG Speakers was->RE: Another AS/400/iSeries/i5 UserGroup bits the dust

Instead of George Farr making the rounds, speaking to 20 people every

night, the entire IBM RPG team could do an interactive video presentation on
a single night to as many local groups as want to patch in.

I think this would be a good solution, but I also think that small groups or
a single LUG would be a better fit vs. doing a whole bunch at a time.  I
find that people are hesitant to ask questions when a whole bunch of people
they don't know are going to hear it.  And if they don't ask the questions
important to them then they aren't meeting their business need and will
think the session wasn't as fruitful.

Just think of how many more LUGs a person could be in touch with if an
initiative was put forth to organize web meetings.  The other thing to note
is that the session could be recorded for later viewing which would be great
for archival search purposes.
