@Jeffro - You should do it. Organise a TavernCamp, setup online presentations etc. and let people chip in with live questions to the talkers at the end. I'd be keen to be involved and I'm sure others would too.

I enjoyed watching some of the WordCamp Australia event and I think you could do exactly the same thing with EVERYONE virtual if you wanted. The only problem would be making sure everyone could stream their video live. I'm not sure what the best way to do that is, but I have dabbled with a couple of live video streaming systems which seemed to work quite well.

In fact, they wouldn't even need to be live. We could record them before hand, send them to you and you could play them on WP Tavern one by one and allow us to chat in the chat room whilst watching/listening. It could work quite well I think.

Travelling 2000 kms just to attend a WordCamp is horrendously expensive, being able to interact with lots of other WordPress developers virtually, but live would be great.
