Bring them!

No, bring them! We can hook them up around the room and make a 
multi-angle DVD...I'm only half kidding (I'd love to play with that).

I got dallas.jonmasters.org setup with the latest Xen and migrated my 
Asterisk stuff onto it last weekend. I can record presentations in 
general now through a special dialin - but I won't be bothering tonight 
as there's going to be AV already.

However, in an article I wrote this month, I stated that I'd like to 
work on a community LUG resource (worldwide, not just US) to help with 
this stuff - can we grab a few minutes to discuss this tonight? A few of 
us could work together to make A/V easier for everyone. And with tools 
like Asterisk and a smooth website we can even make it easier for people 
to record LUG meetings/other Open Source events and put them online.

Jon.
