Keep discussing. I'd travel (almost) wherever.

Virtual could be a good second. Structured and unstructured video calls maybe?

We did this for SpiceWorld and while it was fun to get people together virtually, it was just a few people hanging out and no conference at all. It was a good effort, but doesn't serve the purpose.

We'll have another MangoCon, just need to figure out when it can be done.

Well Pied Piper was a Silicon Valley joke, since their fake startup does video compression and streaming. As far as for your purposes, you'll probably just want to use one of the streaming services like Twitch.tv or Youtube (or Periscope is the hot new one that everyone is using). Then your only concern is video equipment and upload bandwidth.

Damn Nic you're really in the know!

I was trying to remember periscope when I read this yesterday. Never used it, but heard it was usable.

Yeah my boss asked me about Periscope last week and then I ended up seeing a lot of celebrities using it for streams. I haven't actually had a chance to play with it at all.

There was a lot of talk about it on Security Now and Windows Weekly a few months ago - mostly around celebs using it - but since I don't care about those narcissistic weirdos I never bothered to check it out...

Right on - but from what I understand, and from what I have downloaded, this is a linux machine, and it ties into the Windows Server, somehow... not sure, still studying..

The easiest way to do it would be to mount the windows share on the ownCloud box and make that the repository.

Having not tried to integratge AD let alone pass permissions, I have no idea how well this would work.

Pertino does now have the iOS app and would simply pass AD auth.

The Pertino Android app was broken with ICS or KitKat (I forget which). I have not tested if they fixed it yet with the new 420 release. The other problem with Android is apparently some changes in what 3rd party apps are allowed to write to. As long as you are pulling it down live you would be fine, but there seemed to be new security issues with writing to SD.

Easy access from iPhone 😉

Egnyte has a relationship with Netgear ReadyNAS. Very handy option.

Whatever happened to doing these discussion rooms?

I also really like the functionality here, as well as all of the familiar faces! Too bad I don't have a whole lot of intelligent input on the current topics 😞

You've got more management experience than technical expertise. I have no doubts there will be plenty of places your experience would be invaluable for good advice vs. the average IT person's. 🙂
