AFAIK, last year is the only year that we've ever lost talks. The first few
talks were lost last year, because we only had one camera, and it ran into
problems, because the A/V team assumed that the wifi was going to work well
enough to rely on recording to the cloud, and the wifi was terrible. This
year, there were two cameras - one run by the folks from the location (which
had problems with streaming, because it was set up for WebEx), and another
one from someone else that AFAIK the D Foundation or Symmetry paid
specifically to film the conference and do the videos. So, it sounds like we
basically already did what you're suggesting.
