-Late breaking news: 
  
-  * It is not necessary to use a Guest login and set the speaker's name.  It is possible to override ("Edit User Info") the name in the Attendee List by selecting it and using the cog in the lower right corner of the pod.+===== Issues to be Addressed (5/4/09) ===== 
 + 
 +  * Adjust wireless mic gain to avoid distortion problems (e.g., for loud presenter).  Having the presenter wear a room mic could actually help this problem by permitting the presenter to speak in a normal voice rather than projecting for the entire room. 
 +  * Visible mouse cursor on presenter station--make it disappear? 
 +  * Possible to suppress chat popups on presenter station? 
 +  * Need to include mic(s) for audience questions. 
 +  * Mute mic before presenter begins. 
 +  * Permit remote questions (need to block chat popups or use alternative channel)? 
 +  * Are there more lights than necessary in the audio rack? 
 +  * Turn off the screen saver on the presenter station.
