<snip, proposed $18K for professional recording at C++Now> I think this is a good direction (professional recording for C++Now):
(a) We've had failed recordings for sessions in the past (some past sessions have no recordings, or no sound, or were terminated early). As mentioned, some of the venues are tricky to get right (lighting/sound). (b) Professional recordings is a key deliverable to the community (for attendees, and as promotional information for future attendees). (c) This quote is too-good to pass up. (Maybe by accepting this quote we have a chance at also locking in low quotes in future years?) (d) Sounds like our budget this year gives us this option (with the mentioned sponsorships, sounds like this option does not create other budgetary hardships; and it may set precedent for a very tangible thing for which we might be able to recruit specific sponsorship in the future). In short, if we want more high-quality C++ content to grow the entire C++ community, this would help. Indeed, a few years from now the only thing remaining from the conference is these recordings, and I think they provide high value to the entire C++ community. Just my $0.02. --charley -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Boost Steering Committee" group.
