3. Wes is going to be moving after this semester. He found a USB webcam that works in Linux. He’s offered to setup Icecast and a donated Webcam and a microphone so that we can stream meetings and Wes can see them from where he’s moving. He will donate the webcam in exchange for the mounting brackets on the back of our rack-mount hub. </p><p>
