This is a real service especially  when people can't make meetings, and to keep the large percentage of the email list up-to-date.  Watching the video while simultaneously flipping the slides is almost as good as having been there.

It would be good to ask for a volunteer for this on the email list, so
I'm forwarding there.

I think the email list is "the committee".

I'm afraid I won't make this presentation.  It's too difficult and
disheartening to travel so far at rush-hour only to have trouble
hearing.

It's really too bad because I am curious about the subject and hope
that a video comes out of it.

Might the group re-reconsider having all the talks at Google?  If the
acoustics issue doesn't budge the group (which seems rather heartless
and inconsiderate [perhaps blamable on our name?]), then perhaps the
data collected by Steven might?  And the fact that Google will
videotape for us?

Again, what is the reason for having the confusion and complication of
two meeting sites when one has creature-discomforts and is harder to
reach for many more people?

I seem to remember that the final reason given was that the group can
claim more geography?  Why is "more" a good thing?  (again, is it a
consequence of our name?)
