Might MMU (Multimedia Univ College) attract some thanks as well? ================================================ My profound apologies for the glaring omission. MMU are providing the venue, and have been more than supportive to Skunkworks.

Kevin, Where did you write this from? "the future";-)
I agree. Someone attending should take good notes and pictures and perhaps blog about it tomorrow. On Tue, Sep 29, 2009 at 1:56 PM, Gakuru Alex <alexgakuru.lists@gmail.com>wrote:

Hey guys, I assure you that in the not very distant future this thing is going to be a reality. And we will be able to feed skunks events from venues that have internet coverage and give access to those who cannot attend. Tuko karibu sana ........ ETA, december 1st week system goes live testing ( with or without bandwidth spreads ). Nothing new on concept but applications for a different uses. Be ready for plenty of buffering in the next event as the project is on a shoestring budget. :-) On Tue, Sep 29, 2009 at 2:05 PM, Rad! <conradakunga@gmail.com> wrote:
