[OPEN-ILS-DOCUMENTATION] DIG Hackfest Questions

[Karen Collier]

Yamil,

That sounds like a very promising option to me.  I don't have access to a webcam, but if you would be willing to bring the equipment and set it up to run, I think it'd be great to give it a go.

Have you had a chance to try this out yet?  How do remote participants find the meeting?

Thanks,
Karen
