They were using three cameras that I saw, but I heard there were four. Splicing together footage from multiple cameras for three days of talks is not something that happens in a couple of days unless you've got a large team working on it exclusively, and that would add $$$$ to the conference costs. Needlessly, in my view.

As there seems to be complaining about the streaming, let me be a counterweight. For me, these arguments convince that Symmetry/you have done good job here. We have the livestreams at YouTube (except for day 1) for these who want to quickly access the talks, and an edited quality versions coming later. Best of both worlds.

As for the WebEx mistake, I think that it's secondary -your most important goal was to ensure no permanent loss of recordings, and that you did.

As with Walter's aeroplane, you can't except every component to work, but as long as you have backups, you have done your job. Thank you all who were preparing or talking at the conf.

+1. The "public" AGM was unique & the decision to try it was very brave IMO. Thank for all of that.
