I'm sure there are more, but the problem is that most of the people that 
are interested, are spread out more globally, as a whole, so targeting 
specific venues will be hit/miss at best in most cases.

We need this information online, with the ability to stream in any 
location, so that the right people will have easy access to it.

That's where the efforts should be focused rather than issolated efforts 
with less impact. My $0.02 (and where I'm trying to put some of my effort)

Max Brunning has a lecture that he offers through SunU, and that is 
another example of a more issolated effort. It's great for folks that can 
get to SunU, but doesn't help someone in Europe or other countries, and we 
have many potential driver writers in those locales.
