>Hi everyone,
>
>Because we were informed by the hotel that their network would not
>reliably support the live streaming of the convention, we are taking
>an approach which has recently also been used by several other NFB
>affiliates such as Wisconsin. During the convention, we will make
>audio files available that can be downloaded or played
>directly. With the help of our colleagues at Blind Incorporated,
>audio files of convention recordings can be accessed at
><http://nfbmn.blindinc.org>http://nfbmn.blindinc.org. We will
>notify our NFBMN-NEWS list and also share on twitter when each file
>becomes available and will try to provide a link. If you go to the
>above link, you will probably see a rough list of files from which
>you can choose. We might be able to clean it up a little but this
>is still in the works.
>
>We will try to make a couple of files available during each
>convention session and will name them to indicate the session and
>the number of the file within the session.
>
>We will try streaming again in the future, but this will give us an
>alternate way to make the convention available to you. Please be
>patient as this is the first time we've tried this.
>
>This should work similarly to clicking on a link to any MP3
>files. In most cases, the file will start to play immediately. In
>some cases, it may start a download depending upon one's
>settings. If you are using Windows and you want to download the
>file, you should be able to press your "Applications" key and pick
>the "Save Target As" option.
>
>We will try to keep you informed as we progress, and perhaps try a
>test file sometime before the convention starts on Saturday morning.

>Best regards,
