Drupal Camp Colorado Open to Remote Presenters
Because Drupal Camp Colorado is being held in the Micro Business Development Center that is home to Deproductions/Denver Open Media, we have access to equipment and bandwidth that wouldn't be available at many other Drupal Camp locations. This allows us to offer a remote presenter track at Drupal Camp Colorado.
I've offered to provide the technical support for this track that can connect with our Drupal Camp audience using a mix of technologies. The ideal configuration will utilize 2 machines on the presenters end. One box to run VNC (or another screen sharing solution). Another box to run a mulit-user capable version of iChat or Skype. We will provide both a fixed, wide shot of the audience as well as roaming, close-ups of people asking questions. The audio from the room will be mixed from multiple mics so we won't be reenacting scenes from Forgetting Sarah Marshall.
The Deproduciton/Denver Open Media facilities will support a very natural experience for both presenter and the audience. The goal is to make it feel like we've knocked a wall of the DOM studio and connected it to the room the presenters is in.
If you'd like to present remotely, submit a session proposal. There will eventually be options specifically for remote presenters, but for now simply indicate that you will be presenting remotely in the Overview area along with the best time to schedule your session in Mountain Standard Time.
Round table discussions with multiple remote users and local/remote co-presenters are also options to consider.
