[Tn-talk] 2007 NFBTN Convention Archives Delayed

[Peter Donahue]

Hello everyone,

    I'm sure some of you have been visiting the NFBTN Web site looking for
the audio archives of the 2007 State Convention. In a phone conversation
during the convention I promised that the archives would be available by the
end of March. I am half way through processing the files for upload and
expect to have them up in the next few weeks. I recently purchased a
reseller hosting plan that would allow me to host Web sites of NFB chapters,
state affiliates, and divisions as well as being able to sell hosting plans
to others wanting space for a Web site. This will also allow me to secure
additional storage for large files if needed. My first choice is to place
all files for a Web site on its native server, but if necessary I can find
other hosting for them if needed.

    Last Thursday I received an urgent  request from the NFB of Missouri for
help in setting up their streaming for their 2007 State Convention. I
assisted them throughout  the weekend. I hope some of you caught those
portions of the convention they were able to stream. The stream went down on
Saturday afternoon and was out that evening making them unable to stream the
banquet. They kept me on their toes last weekend which contributes to the
delay in adding the NFBTN Convention audio archives to the affiliate Web
site. I promise you the wait will be worth it once they go online. Thanks
for your patience and understanding. Again I apologies for this delay and
will let you know as soon as the 2007 NFBTN Convention archives are
available on the affiliate Web site. Best wishes for a happy Easter from
Mary and myself.
