In my opinion I would like to say that it's up to the person holding talks to decide if they want it record. I brought a video camera and a tripod that I hope will be sufficient for the event. There might be a need for an extra microphone. Think it's a regular headphones jack on the camera if anyone got a good mic. Looking forward to meet you all. I have arrived in Stockholm so send me a mail/SMS/call/fax/telegram if you want company for dinner -- Olof Kindgren ______________________________________________ ORSoC Website: www.orsoc.se Email: [email protected] ______________________________________________ FPGA, ASIC, DSP - embedded SoC design _______________________________________________ OpenRISC mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openrisc.net/listinfo/openrisc
