For the next FUDCon: open source event recording

[Andrew Ross]

Hi All,

I am on this list as well and am happy to answer any questions about the
software.

Recently, Chris Tyler, Seneca College, and FSOSS were kind enough to support
us recording the FSOSS conference in October. Those videos are posted online
now.

We'd love to record FUDCon. Our challenge is that we need to cover some
costs for travel for a few guys familiar with how to set up and run & some
gear. We're happy to reduce costs by using local volunteers and ideally
teach a bunch of people about the software and enable them to go forth and
record other events as well. It takes about 15 minutes or so to learn.

I talked with Paul and few others on this list about doing this earlier with
ePresence. That didn't work out for financial reasons. For reasons explained
in my blog, there were significantly different economics and unfortunate
licensing changes involved. I guess the bottom line is that we need $3K to
cover costs associated with this. If we can raise this or more, we're good
to record and very happy to do so.
