At last week's Mangia meetup, I raised this question well after we had broken into individual discussions. The people around me thought it was a great idea and asked if I would volunteer.
Well, I would, except that I have no webcam or mike (other than the ones built into my MacBook) and no experience with setting up a webcast. Oh, and because I get off work fairly late, I'm rarely at the meetups on time, and I'm never early.
But I'll bet somebody in this group — perhaps a few somebodies — would find this easy to do. Are you one of them? If so, making a webcast happen would help keep our farflung group in closer contact.
Think about it. If you can help, respond here or contact one of our new group managers, Elizabeth Quintanilla or Kerry Larose, and work out the details.

I like this idea, but the
I like this idea, but the logistics are pretty far out. We'd need a camera, tripod, microphones, web hosting, and an operator at a minimum. I'm always there, as is Kerry, but I don't think either of us know a thing about proper recording.
We had some good followups from the Drupal Retreat that Paul Terry hosted, and we recorded all the presentations there. I'll bounce the idea of Paul Terry tomorrow and see what he's got to say. I'll bet he can point us in the right direction as far as recording is concerned. With some luck he'll see this and respond before then!

Baby Steps
Maybe we could start by Just recording the presentations. And then posting them after the meeting. And then at some point graduate to streaming them at a later date.
This way all we need is a video cam.
Video Cam
I can bring my camera to the next meeting.
