This is something I should have probably blogged about too (thanks Mo for pulling all of this feedback together).
I'd like to make a case for this year's Flock to also put extra consideration into planning out how our talks are recorded and documented.
<snip a lot of good description of problems>
I see it as a valuable opportunity for us to invest heavier into improved video infrastructure for this year to both help communicate outward about the things we're doing to a wider (and very interested) audience and to help contributors reflect back on our discussions and topics throughout the year (and be able to follow what's happening from the recordings). And especially seeing how widely the Fedora community is dispersed and how we'll never be able to fund everyone to make it to Flock, wherever we host it, I see it as a valuable investment for our contributors at home who want to follow along remotely as best they can.
Professional video support is very expensive, likely eating most of the additional budget we have allocated towards this year's Flock to record all the sessions that way. That's why the laptop and volunteer setup has been used in the past. We simply don't have budget to do it otherwise.
So what do you propose for solutions otherwise?
