Well, I suppose there is that...  :(

Would there be any value in announcing the presence of camera's prior
to any meetings (should they be used)?  That way, if anyone's worried
about being "photogenic" then they could watch the video instead of
participating.

I'll admit it's not the best solution, but I do believe there are some
benefits to be had - not the least of which would be to increase
TLUG's presence in the "public eye."  (And being able to see & hear
the content presented at missed meetings as Steve Harvey has already
pointed out.)

I'm still flipping through a bunch of old mags looking for additional
information, but LinuxFormat ran, at 9 pages, a relatively large
article (LXF52, Apr 2004) specifically on the topic of making and
editing movies with Linux.

If there's any interest in doing this, I'll take the idea of "donating
bandwidth" to the other folks driving the AVP project.  (It would be
limited to recorded sessions rather than live webcasts, but at least
the recordings could be edited and polished.)
