 Here is the Chatwing chat space where we will ALL try to interact during the session, 

so that people listening in the stream will be able to interact in real time with those in the HoA.
Log in with Twitter or Facebook or Google, or create an acct at Chatwing and use this

Archived recordings (YouTube and mp3) will also appear hear after the event:

Why have we been having trouble with this?

Google+ Hangout on Air now functions through http://youtube.com/live, as of September 2016

Coordinators are working to adapt to the new ecosystem.

Bear with us and when we've worked it out, we'll train you :-)

One thing the new ecosystem has made possible is normalized streaming of other apps such as Bb Collaborate.

At this event we will meet in BbC, which should accommodate all who are able to connect. The caveat is "able to connect."

• You might discover problems in which case we will set up a stream for you to listen in here 
• https://www.youtube.com/user/vancestev/videos
• and interact with us in the text chat at http://chatwing.com/vancestev
  We might be able to troubleshoot for some of you and talk you in through communication in the stream and in the text chat.

 
We hope to model for you in this demonstration one way you might conduct your own live sessions.
