From experience, any recording mode that requires later manual editing sounds great in principle, and then nobody finds the time to do all the work. There is a one great approach posted here at http://yeoldeclue.com/cgi-bin/blog/blog.cgi?rm=viewpostnodeid=1246925071 Seems like his one man army approach worked very nicely. ___ NumPy-Discussion mailing list NumPy-Discussion@scipy.org http://mail.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion I wish I was free to do a beautiful production quality video recording for the community. I would really enjoy doing that. I also feel it is quite important considering lectures of this kind are so, so instructive. If it is too much work to do video, that's perfectly ok. Not preferable, but definately O.K. Besides I'd rather have a rich audio recording then haphazard video/audio If someone could just get a decent recording of the audio, then the slides and audio can be edited together as a screencast on a website. I could imagine a pipe of the stage microphone to a (possibly spare) computer. I could then see it then being uploaded to a storage server for the future editing. The talk given, provides so much more insight than the slides (pdf) alone. Just think how enticing it is for scipy new comers to have screencasts to watch. ~Pete ___ NumPy-Discussion mailing list NumPy-Discussion@scipy.org http://mail.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion

With a dvd recording camera or flash-disk embedded recorder might do the job --of course with some volunteers to fix the camera or follow the scene :) I remember they were recording the talks during the AGU (www.agu.org) conference professional setups. However it has been almost two months but no video has ever appeared on their web-site yet. Seemingly, amateur initiatives give more quicker and productive results when it comes to session recording. -- Gökhan ___ NumPy-Discussion mailing list NumPy-Discussion@scipy.org http://mail.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion I really hope someone will take the initiative. This, for me, is the most interesting of programming conferences; including outside the python community. I can't imagine this to be that technically challenging.. I would think. The open source community is all about volunteering and with that being said, I wouldn't expect the conference organizers to necessarily be involved in the cooridination of such an initiative. I almost feel its a duty of someone to pick up the ball and run with it. respectfully, pete ___ NumPy-Discussion mailing list NumPy-Discussion@scipy.org http://mail.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
