It should be better on the Monday / VRM day as museum is closed and at least more of the limited bandwidth should be free to use.

I expect this to be the case. And, fwiw, the network has been less hosed during recent IIWs than during earlier ones.

So let’s try to set something up. FWIW, I have a spare iPhone 4s with a broken screen that otherwise works fine. It isn’t associated with a cellular network, but could use wi-fi.

Live streaming? Pretty easy today, lots of solutions that will work on an ordinary smartphone. BUT:

Needs good network.

Computer museum wifi+network has been poor in the past. Any reason to assume it's better?

Thanks, Mary and Dean, for stepping up. Looking forward to seeing everybody there(s).

One more topic, for VRM Day: live streaming. We’ve had a number of requests for that. I’m not sure it works with one device/mic in a room that large and reverberant; but if anybody wants to take the trouble to set something up (say, with a lav mike that can be worn by the speaker of the moment, or passed around), I’m all for it. So: thoughts? Ideas?
