Scott,

I was thinking of the network's participation in a similar way to what Tim mentioned in his reply. If we can set up a way for people in other locations to be able to view the sessions via streaming, maybe we could have a link to that and announcements about it in the network. If live participation isn't feasible, recordings of the sessions could be added to our resources links here on the site. That's the kind of thing I was imagining.

As far as topics, I would love to hear from people who are currently using a technology and could tell us about their experience with it. In addition to the types of topics you listed, I'm thinking, for example, that I'd love to hear a presentation from someone who's used social media successfully -- they could show us the actual thing they've created (Facebook page or Twitter postings or ....) and talk about what it took to do what they did, what they learned from their experience, how we could do the same or similar, that kind of thing. Sort of like what you might hear at a users' group conference.
