The online virtual meeting has started, we are still teething it out and learning as we go, but so far it looks great, seems simple to navigate, has some good tools, like embedding youtube and google vids. We have to see how open it is for the widest participation possible.
Here is a photo of the video part, presently sharing the ideas of transition towns with the community. you can watch the doc here: TRANSITION TOWNS: An Interview with Rob Hopkins+ more info on transition towns
