So I thought I was politely, and silently, declining to accept your help with video recording.
I see now that, instead, I was rudely ignoring your call for unanimity.
As I say, we do have a small group of people who are interested in recording the talks. I'll put a call out and see if we can get some volunteers to help.
Urk. There were no volunteers, and I remain a video grinch.
To be clear, I refuse to volunteer myself, as I am hostile to the whole idea.
We have all attendees on high alert on an email list here: http://www.winehq.org/mailman/listinfo/wineconf
You could put out your own direct appeal and see if someone will respond to your cry for help. They ignored mine: http://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wineconf/2014-January/000854.html
Right, here's a request, then.
We really need someone to look after the video gear in the Wine devroom. Starting this year, we really want to record *everything*. Including your devroom. That requires at least one, but preferably two or more, volunteers to man the video gear.
It's not difficult. I've already sent out a few mails with details to all our other volunteers; please see https://lists.fosdem.org/pipermail/video/2014-January/000078.html and https://lists.fosdem.org/pipermail/video/2014-January/000163.html. If you're going to be in the Wine devroom most of the day anyway, you would be a perfect candidate -- even if you have no prior A/V experience: there will be a training session, there will be documentation on how everything works, and we'll be there to help you should things go wrong.
If you don't have the time to put in a whole day, but can do half a day or even just a few talks, that's also helpful; if there's more than one of you doing so, you'll probably manage a full day.
Note that if there is no video volunteer at all this year, this will be taken into account when we need to decide whether Wine will be able to get a devroom next year.
Thanks,
