Yes.  Sylvestre Ledru has graciously offered to take care of recordings
and we plan to upload videos, along with slides and other material, to
the GNU website -- unless some speaker objects.

I don't know about streaming.  If we decide to do it, it's imperative
that we stream in a free video format.

Indeed, that's messy.  This year we'll have a couple remote Q&A sessions
for the first time; we plan to use VoIP or a telephone, with IRC or
Jabber as a fallback solution.  If this setup turns out to work well we
can consider strengthening the "remote" facet of this thing in the
future, but personally I'd fear to make the event too impersonal.  In my
opinion you can follow the talks with videos, but being "there" is an
important part of what makes the event fun.

Thanks for at least considering the idea :-).  Sylvestre has a lot of
experience operating the recording equipment, and I don't think we need
more than one person at a time; however maybe somebody can take his
place when he's tired.

Are you attending, Nikita?

Best regards,
