Re: [LAU] LAC 2013, why not more students?

So here is my kickback to this, as Nil's comments are the same reason I
don't go to many conferences, LAC included. Is there any reason that LAC
shouldn't possibly happen online? Here I am not just talking about
broadcast video necessarily, but thinking about the actual conference and
whether it might be able to be put in effect online, which seems to fit
with LAC especially.

Just musing out loud right now mind you, haven't really thought it through
much.
