Forum: GNU Radio GR Conference Recording?

Is the any possibility that the GR conference could be video-recorded? 
I will not be able to attend this year and I would selfishly like to see 
the talks anyway.

Last year, the audio recordings were great, especially since it was the 
conefrence's first year.  There are so many that I'd like to see that 
don't even go that far.

There is an outfit called NextDayVideo (http://nextdayvideo.com/), which 
I assume many other pythonistas are aware of.  They seem to be doing the 
video recording for many of the Python conferences, including PyCon and 
others.  You can find the videos on YouTube and they seem to do an 
excellent job of balancing focus between the presenter and the 
presentation screen itself.  Code and graphics are always very clear.

Their website covers their range of services.  Videos are edited live, 
so there is very little lag between the talk itself and posting.  For 
lower budgets, they offer training to confence staff and let them shoot 
the video themselves.

I am conscious of the fact that this would be an additional expense and 
all that entails.  I, speaking for myself, would be willing to pay an 
e-registration fee (comparable to the conference registration fee 
itself) of some kind to help subsidize the cost.  Would others feel the 
same way?

Obviously, I'd like to attend in person.  I am sure others would too, 
but similarly have other obligations that make it impossible.  Perhaps 
this could also grow the GR community and bring more attention to the 
confence in the future?  There seem to be more videos every year and I 
know I have benefited from them.  The GR Conference seems to be a great 
opportunity to grab some new content.

I apologize if this sounds like a sales pitch.  As I said, I am just 
selfishly trying to attend the conference in any way I can.  If it helps 
other too - bonus!

Thanks.

Dan,

Yes, I am hoping that all of the talks are recorded on video. I will
be working with the conference center this week to see what we can
actually accomplish. My hope is to just use their A/V team to handle
the setup and recording. We'll take the videos and publish them
somehow/somewhere. I hope to know more about this soon (what we can
expect for video files, formats, etc.).

Thanks for the pointer, though! I'll keep it in mind.

Tom

Eagerly waiting for the videos.....
