Every Friday beginning September 9, 2016
9am – 10am Pacific TimeWorking jointly with the BD2K Centers-Coordination Center (BD2KCCC) and the NIH Office of Data Science, the BD2K Training Coordinating Center (TCC) is spearheading this virtual lecture series on the data science underlying modern biomedical research. Beginning in September 2016, the seminar series will consist of regularly scheduled weekly webinar presentations covering the basics of data management, representation, computation, statistical inference, data modeling, and other topics relevant to “big data” biomedicine. The seminar series will provide essential training suitable for individuals at all levels of the biomedical community. All video presentations from the seminar series will be streamed for live viewing, recorded, and posted online for future viewing and reference. These videos will also be indexed as part of TCC’s Educational Resource Discovery Index (ERuDIte), shared/mirrored with the BD2KCCC, and with other BD2K resources.

Since this is most likely a lecture format, could just stream the video and use WebConf as a Q/A channel.
Of course, that would mean losing the various technical difficulties, licensing fees, etc., all of which are distractions from the primary goal of the project.
But who wants that?
PS: Most *nix users won’t be interested except to refer others but still, over engineered solutions to simple issues should not be encouraged.
