Google on April 13th

[Scott]

Recording this event should be paramount, in that case.  Some of us have 
the ability to do so, I believe.  Perhaps we could coordinate efforts in 
conjunction with Google's enterprise environment requirements (this is 
an open forum, after all) in order to provide maximized coverage of the 
event.  I'm sure the global interest would be intense.

I would not be opposed to discussing any concerns that anyone would have 
over it.
