We're still waiting to hear on the status of available AV resources
at the university. We no longer have easy access to that laptop
pool, so we'd need to start scraping things together if we're doing
that again.
Honestly, I wonder if it is worth the trouble. I don't think these
videos are getting many hits (and almost no one watched them live
last year).
I raised the question mostly because I just sat in on a Board meeting
where a number of people who can't make it to Flock wanted to know if
Christoph's "Fedora.next and the Future of Spins" talk was going to be
recorded.
(Sidebar: that would be an absolutely terrible children's book. We
should do that.)
