Conference Webcasts
This year more than ever, we realize that not everyone can join us at the National Preservation Conference. That's why we're exploring new and exciting ways to bring all of those rich learning experiences right to your desktop. In addition to a full line-up of session feeds, join us throughout the conference as we host live webcasts from over 15 of the conference's best offerings. To participate, simply bookmark this page and return at the scheduled time noted below. If you're late or you miss the feed altogether, don't worry; the content will always be on PreservationNation.org.

I hope that the closing Plenary Session podcast taping was sucessful as I would like to see it again. At the very least, I would like a pdf of the Hon. Randall T. Shepard's comments. The conference, from my perspective, was a huge success. Thanks to everyone involved.

John Lewis's talk was excellent. We can all practice by preaching to the chickens, but then we must do the real work of saving the house we all live in from blowing away in the storm by holding hands and rushing over to the corner of the house that is in danger and holding it down.

Unfortunately, poor quality audio, hiccups every few seconds... makes it unlistenable.

Fri. 3:30est Thanks for your efforts to get this all online. The windows broadcast is coming through, but the stream is interrupted every one or two seconds--incomprehensible. Looking forward to the archived replay. When will they be posted? For future broadcasts I suggest lowering the video size and resolution, which will increase the overall throughput. Often audio resolution can be reduced too, especially if it is a voice-only presentation. Then move the camera up to show the screen and possible the speaker. John

Fri. 12:30est The broadcast is coming through to Portland only intermittently, about 1 minute of good video and audio, then it freezes for 3 or 5 or 10 minutes. I think the problem is on the broadcast end because it's exactly the same at the library computers across the street from our location. Hope you can get it working by 1:30 because I'm really hoping to see the presentation on windows. For better throughput try using these services for broadcasting, in my experience they work very well: bambuser.com, kyte.tv, FlashMeeting, or qik.com (they can broadcast from computer or directly from cellphones, plus they are no cost for basic services, and no cost for servers or bandwidth, since all the video is streamed from their servers.) Any of these broadcasting services can drop out from time to time, so it's a good idea to have a backup service all set up and ready to go. If the primary service drops out, you just switch over at the venue broadcast, and drop the backup player into the webpage, it just takes minutes. John www.HistoricHomeWorks.com
