I haven't followed up on this issue for a while, the main thing I have been stuck on is the issue of coordinating it. We have groups all around Australia with their own meetings on known dates that differ. One suggestion was to have a new meeting on a different date and force everyone to change (that's fair but inconvenient for some). My latest idea is that we could have an Australia wide meeting for the talks most suited to a large audience. Some talks due to a combination of the speaker and the topic work well for small groups, you can have great meetings that end up as a round-table discussion on how to use the new technology that the speaker introduced. Some talks work well in a format much like a university lecture, the speaker says what they want to say, shows pictures they want to show, and answers a few questions. So if we had a fixed time for a nationwide meeting and took nominations for the most suitable lecture-format talks from talks that had been given at LUG meetings (the first thing that comes to mind is every LUG talk that's a respin of a lecture someone gave at LCA) then I think we could have a format that works well for a nationwide audience (a large group of people who can't have much chit chat on a video link) while the talks that are more of a discussion format stay at LUG meetings. Note that I'm not in any way criticising discussion format talks, I've given many of them myself and I'm probably better at that than at lecture format talks. The LUV Jitsi server is up to the task of hosting this. So we need to choose a time and day of the month and find lectures.
