[KLUG Members] CMS again / podcast?

[Lunitix]

I think the equipment issue must be related to hearing the audience when 
they are interacting with the presenter.  That and the conversations on 
the side that would be picked up by microphone make it difficult to make 
a audio program that would flow well enough to be followed. I think the 
task would be to "practice" the capturing of the presentation for the 
learning experience.  rss can be coded by hand easy enough. And the link 
can be listed on the front page of the website for people to add to 
their podcast softwareof choice. In iTunes, I know this is sacriledge 
here, there is an enhanced podcast available that allows small pictures 
to be added to a podcast.  I do not have an iPod, so I do not knwo if 
these pictures are available on a playback on an iPod or other piture 
enabled mp3 playerThese can be programmed to appear at specific times in 
the podcast.  ie Put the frame of the presentation into the podcast at 
the time that it is spoken about.

We should practice the capturing of presentations just to see what would 
be needed - equipment and conduct of audience - to get a good recording. 
   If for no other reason than to learn something.
