 Actually we have tried using volunteers to videotape the sessions and the result was worthless. I still have the videotapes in my office from the 2000 event in Philly.  We had the plenary sessions go out over realplayer in 1999 in Atlanta and almost no one could get Realplayer to work and the feed was slow and unreliable and you couldn't hear much of anything.  And that was with professional equipment of the time.   To do it right would require expensive equipment and people who know what they are doing to run it.  There  is no benefit to Warpstock for this unless someone pays for the equipment and provides the people to run it.  Otherwise it is just a negative encouraging people to not attend.  And even if we could do all that and do it well what is the benefit to the event?

Well the developers workshop in Biel managed it. Streamed over the web and an
IRC session watched by a couple of people to field questions. Seemed to work to
me, but then I was there :-) Did not seem to be that mutch in the way of kit -
I only noticed a webcam.
