Let's record everything

It’s a shame that so many tech events in DC go un-recorded. The talks given at Refresh, developer events, unconferences, lectures, and presentations could all have lasting value, but are essentially discarded by not being captured in the first place.

So, lets stop letting that happen. For about $2k we can get a dozen flip cameras, with tripods. We can get free bandwidth, hosting, and transcoding simply by uploading to the internet archive.

I’m sure the logistics of managing a pool of loaner camera’s would be challenging, but doable.

For discussion:

What am I missing?

How do we raise the money?

Got any better ideas for the capture hardware, or the hosting solution?
