Streaming monthly meetings

[William F. Fenn]

No - They turn it off when the library closes. I asked the Librarian at the
Oakton Library if there was any way to leave the WiFi up after hours when we
the library was closed during our meeting and she said no.  I think some us
will remember the bathrooms being locked and the elevator only set to allow
departures when we had a meeting at the main library after hours.

At present the Dolly Madison Library will be open to 9 PM on meeting nights.
I didn't see any way for them to close the library off from the meeting room
entrance so suspect they will be no use of the meeting room after the
library closes on the early nights.  

Ahhhhh..., such is life out in the wilderness of Fairfax County.

Will they leave it on after hours for us?  That's key, and I've run into
situations with the Fairfax Library System where they kill Internet
connectivity after hours, presumably to keep people from sitting in their
parking lots and mooching.  My experience with Fairfax and Loudoun is that I
can kite a PPTP connection through their NAT, so in the worst case if our
streaming setup did not play well with their firewall, I could bring it out
to a globablly unique address with no filtering.
