Well, I'm the first one to admit I'm a lousy videographer. But is that really that important? The person is just standing there and talking, so what really matters is the sound. Because the slides are usually about 20% of the information. So just put there a tripod, a reasonable HD cam for $300 and you'll get a decent video of the session. > When professionals volunteer their time, they still have expenses like > travel, storage media, etc., and you can help defray those. Yes, there are travel expenses and it takes time. Storage media is not a big deal - you can use a simple HDD. regards Tomas -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
