[mdlug] Blue.mdlug.org + Washlug Meeting; FM mike; Smoothboard

[teacher1st]

Hi,

Very nice piece of software.  Thanks for the work putting this together 
for remote attendees.

With a similar software, Openmeeting 
[http://code.google.com/p/openmeetings/], an FM mike really helped when 
walking around.
Needed to remember to repeat questions / comments from the audience.

I used it with Smoothboard [software from www.smoothboard.org or java 
version from http://www.uweschmidt.org/wiimote-whiteboard ]
Inexpensive if you can borrow some kid's WiiRemote.  Made a pointer from 
Raid Shack purchased led, battery holder and surplus momentary switch.

See you all in person November when I relocate to Warren, MI.  Will be 
able to attend meeting remotely in meanwhile.

later,

jim
