This is not the topic (I don't really care how the audio recordings get merged or how the final recording is delivered as RealVideo/RealAudio streams). The topic is "how do we get recordings of Linux-related discussions in the future that capture all the comments of the participants."
It would be great if we could get a good approach nailed down so that it could be used at Linux BOF discusssions and development team presentations in the future.
OT: It would be great to have a central repository for Linux- related audio/video streams. For example, it'd be great to get some of the LinuxTag, LinuxWorld, Comdex, CBIT and other presentations made available on the web. Perhaps even more valuable, from a development information dissemination standpoint, would be recordings of "birds of a feather" discussions.
