In case you haven't got the info from Quim, the GNOME Events Box should arrive at Vilanova today. It has one 3GHZ x86 PC (onboard Intel graphics) and 2 LCD screens, among other things. Please please, put the requirements and plans on a wiki page. Otherwise, I don't see how it can be organised. > Last year there were 4 cameras total: 2 handicams from Fluendo and 2 > nice cameras from Tim's wonderful friend whose name I forget, Jessica Moroder, in the film business. > who was > being paid I am sure.

Yeah, we've got to push up the quality if we can.
