[12:23] <erixoltan> What about sounds system and video recording at the conference? [12:24] <jokeefe> The place is small enough that we don't need a sound system, though for video recording having a mic would be good.

[12:25] <jamesprice> I have a field recorder and decent mics [12:25] <erixoltan> Also wanted to talk about setting up a masspirates youtube acct. (or alternative).
