Videoconferencing comes to KCLEA Committee meetings

KCLEA Committee uses video conferencing technology

The January 2010 meeting of the KCLEA Committee was a watershed event, as one Committee member was able to attend from afar using a video conference link over the internet.

At the 2009 AGM Gerry Lawrence, the Webmaster for KCLEA, retired after many years of exceptional service. He was replaced by Alistair Steger-Lewis, previously a Committee member in the 1990s, who now lives on the west coast of Ireland.

"I am delighted to be rejoining the Committee and look forward to playing my part in shaping KCLEA's online presence. Attending the Committee meetings is going to be rather difficult, though!" commented Alistair on his election.

Always ready to rise to a challenge and being engineers of high calibre, the Committee soon came up with a solution. A video camera and projector were set up in the meeting room and, as if by magic, Al's ghostly image was able to float over proceedings. What interesting times we live in!
