I'm thinking we might have >1 methods for connecting from within the
breakout sessions, depending on who we need to bring in - some WebEx, some G+,
some Skype, some of us even love BigBlueButton. :)

+1 on Icecast, we've done that with Fedora events. +1 to IRC channel

We'll catch you next time. :) Do you know if Mark Baker is attending?
I know we have a horrible conflict (the bane of event planning :( ),
and yes, this is one reason I'll commit to making video + audio
