Hi, We recorded our "workshops" given over the AG in the UK in January using the inSORS recorder and have played them back for our registered users. We warned people beforehand that the sessions were being recorded.
Recording would also be useful for anyone who cannot attend a conference due to time zone constraints etc or whatever, to play back or listen to certain speakers from a conference. With the right development it could provide a useful archive of events. Just like any recording privacy is an important issue that must be addressed.

It's this, what are the main reasons why someone would want to record AccessGrid conferences? Also, what about invasion of privacy concerns? I'm asking since I'm interested in learning how people (like us) feel about recording conferences and if any of the people we maintain services for have expressed interest in recording conferences too. I personally think that recording conferences is good for these reasons: - Archival of important meetings/alternative note-taking - Re-broadcast for people that missed the meeting I'd like to hear what others think about this. As for invasion of privacy, I'm sure there might be people that could abuse it but then people can abuse anything.
