People want us to record all the sessions and make them available. That means collection permission from each presenter.
I'm not sure. I think having one talk recorded is clearly better than having zero talks recorded.
We'll see, some might be recorded. We live in a world of cheap technology -- people are running around with recording gear. That's different from the program committee taking explicit steps to ensure that all the sessions are recorded.
Why? If you just happened to lease a recording equipment to the speaker, who used it to record his talk and publish it on this personal site, you're not responsible for anything. It's just without recording equipment available, most speakers won't bother to do it themself.
I see you've made up your mind that it's too much effort, which is your decision, but it's a pity anyway.
Not just me...it's the program committee. Like Boost itself we're working with volunteer labor -- we simply don't have infinite cycles to do everything. To date we've been over-extended in my view. Jeff
