All,
I have prepared the following web location,
http://www.teched.org/hist00/brazil/
where distant parties interested in seeing what we are doing may "tune" to our
conference. Right now, since we have no feed from Brazil, I am feeding live
video from China to help everyone verify that their "Real Player" is working
properly.
Once I am there in Brazil, any pictures or videos we take can be posted during
the days, and any live video feeds will have been pre coded to the website.
This link by the way is accessible also from
http://www.teched.org, click
"International Initiatives" and then click "Manaus, Amazonas, Brazil"
