Hi all,
If we have a tutorial at WikiConference USA, it will likely be recorded on
video so that others can watch later. There is also the possibility that we
might be able to live-stream the workshop.
One of the reasons that we chose Xero is that it allows all of our board
members to have read-only access via an Internet connection, meaning that
any board member can look into the books at a time and place convenient to
them. I feel that this is helpful in facilitating good governance.

I was thinking of that, but unless something so wonderful happens that I
can drop other commitments, I'll be staying home this year when so many
others are having fun in Berlin.
