PgEast/West when we were running 3 tracks it was easy to keep up with the requirements to get video up but now, 6-7 tracks? 3-4 days? Only 249.00 to show up? That is a lot of resources. Simply put, we would have needed a minimum of 21 volunteers just for video (assuming we each volunteer was dedicated for only a day). The conferences just aren't that big yet. Sincerely, Joshua D.
