We're hoping that it's popular. Just not so popular that it breaks
our checking accounts.

I don't think any of us thought that far ahead. As a NYCBSDCon
committee member, I might bring that up with the organizers. I can't
imagine that we would stream their presentations, but I'm sure we'd
be happy to consult with them based on our experiences.

Both, at least when we're broadcasting any CapBUG presentations. I
will be using QuickTime Broadcaster on my MacBook Pro, which allows
me to stream H.264/AAC and record .mov to disk at the same time.
Expect the archive online within 48 hours after the presentation.

Please see http://metabug.org/news/video-streaming-update/. Brad
Smith should be committing the changes soon now that the ports freeze
has been lifted.
