This is not the topic (I don't really care how the audio
recordings get merged or how the final recording is delivered
as RealVideo/RealAudio streams). The topic is "how do we
get recordings of Linux-related discussions in the future
that capture all the comments of the participants."
It would be great if we could get a good approach nailed
down so that it could be used at Linux BOF discusssions
and development team presentations in the future.
OT: It would be great to have a central repository for Linux-
related audio/video streams. For example, it'd be great to
get some of the LinuxTag, LinuxWorld, Comdex, CBIT and other
presentations made available on the web. Perhaps even more
valuable, from a development information dissemination
standpoint, would be recordings of "birds of a feather"
discussions.
