[Leica] Planning a LUG video gathering

[Douglas Barry]

Seems pretty slick, Brian, and easy to use. I'm on the open meeting now 
just to test it, and the only thing I can't work out, is whether the 
sound is working, as there's no one else on it.
I'm presuming it's fine as I assume it's unlikely you can hear your own 
voice when you speak. I'll leave it on for the next 15 mins and if 
anyone else wants to test it, I'll be here (or there) as it may be.
