Secondly, since i know i will be missing the next meeting on the 22nd due to a business trip and i saw some persons taping the presentations, i am curious when/if those will become public somehow?

We are still working out how it will be done. My current thought is to encode the video as MP4 and post it on the group web site when we have one. I will encode tonight's second presentation (I didn't arrive in time for most of the first one, stupid T) and put it on my personal web server temporarily so people can make sure it plays properly; it will later move. I hope the presenters also make their slides available for us to post (or link to on their websites if they prefer).
