Re: [vmeet] interest in a side-meeting to talk about remote hubs, local communities, etc?

For someone like me who has not kept track of what technology is exactly
used for remote hubs, whats the best URL to catch up ?

Eg: For the use-cases discussed on this thread such as developing world
hubs whee i guess the issue is not only ability not to travel but also inability to
have individual remote participant HW/network connection, i can't quute see how
the first instance of a remote hub should need to be anything different than a
single remote participant hardware ("notebook") in a room, connected to projector
and noise cancelling speakerphone and a user acting as the remote hub admin in
front of it managing requests for comments from other participants in the room.
Aka: nothing that looks different to the WG chair than an individual remote
participant called "Room Foobar in Faraway Town".

Disclaimer: Its much easier to have an opinion if you do not understand the problem.
