As I am the speaker for January, I guess I should throw in my
2 cents. I think recording presentations is a great idea. It
would be great for looking up old presentations in an archive
which would be a great resource to members and anyone
interested in a topic previously presented. Also, I feel it
would build a stronger knowledge base for the members.

Josh
