Hi,
This list is slowly getting smaller as some people come forward and say "sorry, I really don't want a permanent record of my talk". Now, whilst there can be lots of views on this matter[1], I'm taking the view that honouring people's wishes (ie their feelings) matters more. I do view it as sad, but I view people being upset as sadder. ( It's generally lightning talks fwiw - most speakers knew we were recording talks, since the proposal form explicitly asked for permission ) [1] My personal one is if you don't want people to report something you have to say which is interesting don't get up, stand in front of 400-500 people and say it.... :-) I would ask though, if you're thinking about asking this, please think twice. I cringe hideously whenever I hear a presentation I've given or see a video of one I've given (I have no idea I talk that fast in that context!). I think we all cringe when we see/hear ourselves. However, I know from seeing other people's presentations that make /them/ cringe are really useful and interesting and provide a different view on the subject than something on slideshare or a blog ever can so that they're worth keeping visible. However, I also understand that some people feel different, and would rather people feel comfortable speaking again at a future point in time, rather than have anyone left upset who contributed by getting up and sharing something they were interested in! :-) As a side note, if you ever don't want a talk recorded, just say, no-one will be offended. If anyone has any q's please do contact me.
