Yeah, why the big secret?

There was. It was an anouncement made in the community digest, even if it was a bit impromptu due to the servers having extended maintenance

I loved that they did this, despite being under no obligation to. I enjoyed myself in there, and didn't even look at the servers until the stream had finished.
Cheers. 
I got in on the end. It was interesting and entertaining. I like this a lot more than Twitter or Facebook for the value it seems to bring.

Can someone post a summary?

Yeah they did this on launch day of issue 20 too. Posi came on to ask a trivia question for a give away and answered some questions from the folks watching. A good time was had by all.
I agree, this was a nice thing even though most people (me being one of them) was rather upset at the situation in general (i for one will remain quite grumpy until they give us the account server back!). But it gave a nice distraction, got to see some familiar faces in Positron, Zwill, Warwitch.. and Ghost Falcon wearing that Star Wars helmet certainly made me laugh :P
and as for the "no announcements" there was a small one, but this was not something they had planned ahead on, they just did it for the sake of keeping us entertained and in the loop

Looks like I'm going to have to keep a closer eye on USTREAM from now on.
I'm trying to find out if it will send me email notifications when a channel starts streaming, but I couldn't find anything so far.

UStream doesn't have that. Which is another reason I suggested Justin, since they have a channel subscription feature which does email you when they start streaming.

Great idea and much appreciated even if work prevents me from participating in these.

This was the second unscheduled chat they've done - they don't record them for later, but there's also the first live dev Q&A chat available as a video on the UStream page.

Okay, I'm going to find if there's something that'll grab status updates from a specific Twitter account and email them to me, then. I do follow CoH_OCR on Twitter, but I don't like Twitter.|

Edit: looks like http://nutshellmail.com/ will do the trick.
Edit 2: Nope, it only sends summaries. Looking for something else.
Edit 3: Looks like http://tweetymail.com/ might be it.
Edit 4: Yep, http://tweetymail.com/ will email me when people on a list update. No clue on how long the delay is, but it's better than nothing.

100% agree. In Fact, I think we should schedule MORE server downtime so we can have more of these UStream broadcasts.|

...Especially if I'm at work during that downtime anyways...

It was a fun way to pass the time while the servers were down. Kept me from getting grumpy on one of my days off work.
Zwill, hosting a ustream chat to ease community frustration over the server issue was a great call. Hope you continue to do streaming chats!
