Thanks. I'll be bringing a 1TB USB drive, which I expect to be able to
handle everything, but I'm not certain what default settings these new
recorders have. But, yeah, I tend to figure 1-2M/minute for Audio, and a
lot more for video.

I'm all for crowdsourcing this, but it does need some lead time. We have
not, to date, effectively crowdsourced video, although we have done the
on-site audio editing a couple times now. I would love to see if we can
get the keynotes video'ed, at the very least.

I'll be on site Sunday evening at some time. I won't have much time
before the Monday morning keynotes, as I have an early meeting. but if
we can get your camera set up for the 9am keynote that would be wonderful.

Getting the recordings is, of course, the most important thing.
Post-processing can happen any time, even if we can't get it done on-site.
