What do other people think? I like it. Other groups do this (LispNYC and Lisp Toronto), it might be good to get info from them about how it's been working out.

I can't speak for others, but I don't think I can make it tomorrow (Wed.). But I have been arranging for a talk, which looks like it's going to be next week (probably Thursday). It's been suggested that we should perhaps just meet once a month on a set day (the nth foo-day of the month), regardless of whether a formal talk has been arranged. If there's no talk, then we could do tutorials, lightning talks, informal sharing of recent cool hacks, or just dinner. We haven't used this model in the past, but the idea has been growing on me.

I was going to suggest SoundCloud, too. As a bonus, it's easy for people to annotate interesting/favorite times in the audio. The only drawback? Someday if you ever had a presentation with slides or other video, you couldn't host it on SoundCloud. Would it be awkward to have some on SoundCloud but others on YouTube or SlideShare.net or whatever?
