I try to get to meetings 2 or 3 times a year, but can't always get there,
mainly because of work and geographic issues. I know many members of the
list are in a similar situation.
As far as I am aware, video recordings of the main talks as well as slides
are captured every month.
Unfortunately, it seems though that this valuable material isn't being
published. I know that there has been issues with manpower/server
space/broken cameras etc that have been discussed in the past. So I guess I
am wondering whether there is a plan to get this back on track? I don't
imagine the problem is insoluble, and if people are made aware of what needs
to be done they can possibly pitch in.
(I am particular interested in seeing Jeff's talk tonight but probably won't
be able to get there - and I know of at least one person that can't be there
but would love to see it).

As I am attending tonights talk, I will take my camera along. If it is OK with
Jeff and the SLUG committee, I will record the talk and make the video and/or
audio available as an Ogg File. I am prepared to make the Ogg file available
under a creative commons license, incorporating appropriate credits in the
footage.
Ofcourse distribution is still an issue...so, offers of servers would be
welcome.
Personally, I don't think there is much ROI on recording, editing and
publishing video of talks, but I would be interested in other views.
My videos of some non-SLUG talks has been uploaded to youtube.
