[Blindtlk] streaming convention

[Chris Nusbaum]

Hi all,

I just talked to the national center and asked some questions 
about streaming of the National Convention online.  John Bergrun, 
(if that's how you spell it) who is managing the streaming for 
the national center, told me that by next week, there will be a 
link on the national convention information page on nfb.org for 
the stream which also contains a schedule of all the events 
streamed and when they will be streamed.  He could tell me for 
sure that they will be streaming the three days of general 
sessions, the board meeting, and the banquet.  The main things 
that they don't stream are the division meetings (we already know 
that NABS's meeting will be recorded and put on nabslink.org) and 
the seminars.  Many of these seminars will, however, be recorded 
and posted on the National Convention Highlights page in the 
Audio-Video Center on the NFB site after convention.  These will 
just not be streamed live as they're happening.  He also said 
that they will have everything finalized on Wednesday, and will 
forward this information to Dave Andrews, asking him to 
cross-post this to all the NFB-NET lists so we know the final 
information.  This was just the information I got from the 
national center, and I thought you would want to know.  Hope this 
helps!
