[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] <erixoltan> I have a camera that will record video but no external mic. [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). [12:25] <jokeefe> james, if you can bring them that would be great! [12:26] <jokeefe> erik, yes we need a youtube account. [12:26] <Lucia> I gave JP a new web cam [12:26] <Lucia> ASk him about making a channel [12:27] <jokeefe> We have a google account, but perhaps it shouldn't be tied to that account? [12:28] <jokeefe> Still waiting from the state on our voter list. [12:28] <jokeefe> Pinged last Thursday and they said this week. [12:28] <jokeefe> Will ping by Thu. at the latest [12:31] <jokeefe> Next on the agenda are movies [12:31] <jokeefe> We have the half hour Your Face is a Saxophone web show [12:32] <erixoltan> Are you looking for additional ideas?
