Several Oregon ESDs are working together on an RFP for media streaming. We're hoping that by working together we can get a better solution for all Oregon students at a better price than going it alone. We've scheduled a meeting for Dec. 19, 2007 to discuss the needs of different regions and have a draft document posted and shared through Google Docs so interested ESD members can share their ideas. See the info below. I'm also setting up a listserv to facilitate discussions. I'll post more info on that later.

Info on meeting:

When: December 19th from 1:30 - 3:30.
