[GT2005] Capture Audio for Podcast?

[Agile Jack <ag...@gmail.com>]

As a devoted podcast listener -- is there any way we can do simple audio 
capture of GT2005 sessions and then post on
cocoongt.org<http://cocoongt.org>site as a podcast? This would be
extremely valuable.

>From what I have been hearing, capturing useful quality audio isn't that 
hard or expensive -- just need decent microphones and most importantly, make 
sure we use them consistently. Probably some of you already have experience?

Simpler certainly than trying to capture & publish video ...

WDOT?

I was thinking cocoongt.org <http://cocoongt.org> ... the content could be 
purely static ... or we could build something smarter. But I don't really 
know details of how that site is hosted, what other options there might be, 
etc. Others probably know better.

I agree, this would be a good idea!

We just need to make sure that one (better two) people take care of the 
recording and publishing. We also need to make sure that the audio 
system will provide a suitable connection.

Where would the RSS be published? On the Cocoon zone?

Good point.

Arje, any chance we can get our hands on the sound system before the 
conference to see what kind of outputs it has and try hooking up to it to 
verify sound quality, etc.?

Given good-quality sounds files, the podcast part should be easy ... 

Publishing audio is a good idea, much easier to do than video.

Microphones will certainly be used, so the best thing would be to plug 
your recording gear directly into the hall's sound system.

Publishing audio is a good idea, much easier to do than video.

As someone who has just started diving deeper into Cocoon and who's company 
has a dim view of paying for a trip to Amsterdam I would be insanely happy to 
have a copy of the audio from the conference. If there is anything those of 
us who can't come can do to make this happen I'd be happy to do it.

Cheers,
Gavin
