DDNA Audio Broadcast

We will be attempting to broadcast the audio from the DDNA meeting over Zoom. This is a trial run and we hope to be able to have video and maybe some level of interactivity in the future. We will do our best but please understand there are challenges in this space that may make this difficult including ceilings in the room that are high and may produce a significant echo.
