Robert, I just want to give you a public "Thank You!" for the live stream from the Conference. Although I wasn't able to watch as much as I would have liked, I caught a good deal of Diane Hillmann's wonderful keynote and I was happy to have the opportunity. So first of all, thank you for doing it at all, and likely forever raising the bar on what hosts will be expected to do in the future. The other thing was that I was astonished by the quality -- both of the video stream itself and by the production values, where at times the camera would be on the speaker and at other times on the slides -- thereby giving those of us stuck in places we'd rather not be more of the kind of interaction we would have in person -- looking at the speaker, looking at the slides, etc. Although I won't be able to see much of the rest of the conference live, due to the multi-day obligation that is my lame excuse for not being in Bloomington, I wanted you to know that between the combination of the Twitter stream, the Code4Lib chatroom, and the livestream, us remote folks have everything but the breakouts and the beer. And yeah, we know those are the most important parts. But at least we have something, and thanks to you it is something a good deal better than ever before. Kudos to your team! Roy
