How to participate in the connect remotely

Hi.

I'm curious how/if remote participation is going to work during this connect. Unlike past events we will not have the advantage of the Canonical IS teams that made everything just work. This probably includes the microphones in each room, the IRC channels, the projectors and the magic wifi.

Is there any general way to participate remotely during this event or should I just bug my friends to place a laptop on a chair and run google hangouts?

Thanks ZK
