Thanks, that's great and in line with what I was already thinking. I 
did not plan to capture full sessions, as I wonder if many people 
will every access them (ofcourse it depend on your type of meeting 
and presentations). I guess if you do interviews you force people to 
compress content- making it more interesting for others to engage 
with. Great examples!

   I've joined this list recently and I'm pretty impressed by the
   messages I have a question: in June we are planning to vlog a
   meeting of two days in Brussels with 80 people and several 
subsessions
   (using both english and french language). I'm wondering whether 
you
   would have any tips or cool ideas, as this is the first time 
I'll be
   doing this (we have a team of 4-5 people who will help in the 
process).
   We do want to combine it with normal blogposts and photostreams.
 
 you could simply set up a camera and record each session.
 Then you can compress and upload each session to a blog.
 you can see how we did it at Vloggercon 2006:

 (it can be made much prettier these days)
 
 you can also get a group to go around and do little interviews with
 people at the conference.
 here's an example we did last year at a conference in Santa Barbara:

 The biggest challenge is the workflow.
 usually...people record a lot of video...and then no one wants to 
deal with it.
 the tapes just sit on someone's desk for months.
 
 So i suggest that the work be distributed.
 assign each person with one session that they will record and 
upload.
 or assign each person to record and upload 5 short hallway 
interviews.
 in this way...it'll get done.

it all depends on what your goal is.
If you want to document the actual event, then  record each session.
this is valuable as an archive for the future...or for members that cant attend.

if you want to give a feel for the people who make up your
community...then I like the short interviews with different people in
hallways. helps humanize whatever it is you guys are doing.

andrew posted a good example of documenting an event yesterday:
