    I thought I'd start off a little discussion on possible topics for the May meeting and perhaps pull a speaker out of the crowd -- last I heard we are still in search of a topic/speaker for May?

    Maybe not of interest to all, but how about Video on the web? Streaming vs. Progressive. Host it internally with a custom built player vs. running it off YouTube. Why go through a third party, who has the best player? Video on the web vs. video on the web for mobile devices. Video and accessibility, is it all about having a transcript? And of course, how do I do cool sh!t on my site with video??

    I've always wanted to have someone present on video on the web *cough cough* Ben Watkins *cough*

    We've got someone lined up for May (check the homepage), but we should definitely find someone to present on video. Maybe in June or July?

    Progressive can work in many cases, especially if you don't have access to a Flash Media Server (or something similar).
    I do a lot of Flash Video, with custom players that I build. For smaller clients, the player usually progressively loads a local FLV file.
    For larger clients who need streaming, the same Flash based player can be set to play streams of Akamai.
