Are you thinking of doing this as a one-time event or a series or something else?

I was at Noisebridge  recently pondering if I'll participate in the Noisebridge anniversary party with the light projections. We have a big old light projector - I'm trying to figure out if something is worth doing that makes sense, I think the entire experimentation aspect would be the most fun part of it!

Anyway I hung out with some cool people from Boston (we really need to connect with New England more) and we started discussing the history of light projectors and all the different standards.

 I also use a discontinued light projector that is one of the best of its kind in the small range, 
but it was stopped because I guess the price point was too high, the software sucked (it's a Korean company SK Telecom , why do they often make the best hardware but the worst software? quite tragic. maybe ux and software engineering is undervalued at large engineering companies all over the world????) 

 Thought that this would be a good side discussion on  different video standards. 
  • why did some standards fail
  • why did some standards succeed
  • which products were great but became (maybe unfairly) failed products due to market timing, evil forces (monopolies  bad software)

I guess this would go under a general computer history talk at sudoroom some evenings
