fyi - 

things to consider

a) Somethings people may not want to talk about
if they are being recorded. (certainly there have
been a number of items I would not have brought
up in the meeting if they were recorded.)

b) Some presentors may make $ from their
presentations (teaching or otherwise) and
may want not to be recorded.

c) We want MORE people to goto the meetings,
not less. Live video taping encourages people to
stay at home and watch....

since I am in a dark mood today at work
I will leave the pros to someone else today ;->

best

ps - I am not saying I am against vido
taping, just that there are issues.
