That would be great.

Lets keep it simple first and when everything is chugging along nicely,
we can discuss adding another camera, etc. Having a camera filming the
projector, as well as the speaker is always done at the larger
conferences I've attended but, they also have a much larger audience,
budget and film crew. So while ideal, this may not be practical.

It would be nice to always accompany the video with a link to the
slides. This may push us to keep better track of that too. (always
getting the slides/materials/code/etc).

Thanks again,
