tl;dr Do you want to have professional recording of C++Now sessions? Also related, C++Now is a very... interactive conference. By that I mean some of what makes it great are the discussions that take place during certain sessions between the attendees and the speaker. A talk is often very different from a lecture followed by questions, and that is, in my opinion at least, a good thing, especially given the nature of some of the sessions. Unfortunately this makes it difficult to capture in a video. Frequently you will only hear one side of a conversation (the speaker) and may be somewhat lost as to exactly what is being discussed. Always having the speaker repeat questions helps in some ways, but also has the negative side-effect of killing the momentum of a conversation. It'd be great if we could better capture the experience of a C++Now session seamlessly. So if we end up getting professionals to do the recordings, they should probably be aware of this dynamic, as they may have a solution that we either haven't thought of or have been unable to implement. I'm thinking anything from a couple of extra mics appropriately placed (possibly difficult in some rooms), or even "crowd-sourced" mic'ing, which I believe someone mentioned last year as a real possibility (someone either described or hypothesized a mobile app that allows individual attendees to record, and the recordings are then automatically synchronized into tracks for editting). Anyway, I consider this less important than getting professional recordings to begin with, but if it's possible to solve this problem as well, we should probably at least keep it in mind and let whoever does the recording know the situation in advance. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Boost Steering Committee" group.
