To get professional results, you need more than a camera on a tripod. For example, someone has to: * keep the camera on the speaker * get clean copies of the slides * merge the slides with the video * create assorted web pages, etc. * ... Outfits like InfoQ and Confreaks do a very good job, but they use professional staff (who expect to be paid). I'm delighted that these folks provide high-quality recordings of talks, at no cost or inconvenience to me. It allows me to "virtually" attend conferences all over the world. +1! It's also wonderful to have a local meeting recorded by a volunteer, but I _really_ don't want this to be the way our conferences are recorded. I can wait a bit for the editing; clean results are more important than saving a month or so. That said, there may be a way to release "raw" (Beta?) videos faster, assuming the stakeholders (eg, presenter, conference, recording firm) are OK with this. Alternatively, perhaps a way can be found to let volunteers make recordings. -r P.S. Here is an example of a locally-recorded talk by Rich Hickey. It's a great talk on concurrent programming in Clojure, but finding a set of slides was a challenge (and stepping them is a bit of a nuisance): http://blip.tv/clojure/clojure-concurrency-819147 ftp://nat.iem.pw.edu.pl/pub/DOC/clojure/04-ClojureConcurrencyTalk.pdf -- http://www.cfcl.com/rdm Rich Morin http://www.cfcl.com/rdm/resume r...@cfcl.com http://www.cfcl.com/rdm/weblog +1 650-873-7841 Software system design, development, and documentation -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
