Are there any plans at GETA for streaming audio or podcasting?

Some daily highlights from the “2nd Annual Synergy Conference” would be nice.

Wondering how to actually ‘do the deed’?

Here is one suggestion:

VideoLAN is a software project, which produces free and open source software for video, released under the GNU General Public License. Links follow:

Maybe some of more ‘geekie conference techie attendees or GETA members’ could pitch in with some sweat and time equity to do the actual work for GETA?

It would be a nice surprise for future GETA visitors…
