I can personally testify to how AWESOME the babysitting room was. I was one of the mothers who was there with my infant the whole weekend, and Ma sha Allah, it worked out perfectly! We mothers were making so much du’a for the brothers who put this together.

@DarthVaider: I remember reading about that and asked some bro’s at wasat how it was done- from my understanding, the reserved hall is just really big, so all that needed to be done was putting a partition up and the audio feed was still going through the building. As for the powerpoint, I think you guys just loaded it on a second laptop and they just clicked slide to slide at the same pace.

Don’t know who you asked, we never set it up like that – we tried two approaches to see which ones mothers preferred – the first approach was to do what you did, streaming the video in, and we had an audio patch connected to the second room, so mothers heard the class material as well and as loudly as we could.

The second option which we did at SS was to see if Powerpoints were preferred over seeing the speaker in the other room – the difference from what you said and what we did was that the power points were synched up, so when the speaker changed the powerpoint on our end, it would change on the babysitting room as well ;)

We then surveyed mothers and found they liked the first approach better, and decided to go with that going forward.

Don’t hate ;)

Nurayn, awesome work and mabrook on getting ILMFEST insha’Allah, it’s going to be really awesome over there!

However, MR, I have to take exception to one point – you’re not the first qabeelah to stream – WASAT is the first to stream the class into the babysitting room (heck, we pioneered the idea to accomodate babysitting and remove the reliability of watching kids), and as SaqibSaab said, we’ve been doing it for a while now – who do you think shared this idea with the other ameers and ameerahs both through email discussion and in person at Ilm Summit in the first place ;)

You can be the second qabeelah =D

Does anyone have a problem with the audio on here? I don’t get any sound when I click on the videos. I only have a problem on this website, not anyone else’s. Technical problem on your end maybe?

@giacomodefayfay – All these other qabeelat are claiming this, but Nurayn actually has the daleel. :-D
