Getting in late to this thread, but I'd also be willing to do a remote talk
for any group - and definitely interested in anyone wanting to do the same
for our local group.

For the 'how', my pick would be G+ Hangouts. The screenshar tool is decent
(pick windows or the full screen), and if you go 'on-air' you can get a
recording of the session. A camera and mic pointed at the audience would
help with QA, but since it's a hangout, anyone that's invited could jump in
and ask the question from their own computer.

The one shortcoming (and I'm not sure if the same is true for the other
options) is a screenshare doesn't include a PIP of the presenter. However,
the presenter could join twice (if they happen to have multiple devices),
and share a screen with one, video with the other. There are also plenty of
utilities out there to provide a virtual webcam allowing the presenter to
composition screen captures with other video devices.
