ok, so recording is out of question for now.

ok, but at least we have some connection.

we could enhance a back-link using chat or something else

that looks better.

if we cast the talks by Grenz, Magnus and me, we may even have some 
listeners ;-)

so, I am in Vienna only briefly before the event, we should organize 
this via e-mail and the wikipage,
could you add some note about this on the wiki page?  "we plan to do an 
icecast stream using software X which requires client Y, probably on 
network Z. nothing decided yet, may work or not.... etc"

I would start it small and then increase - so first goal would be to 
stream one of the talks, and then hope to stream more. As my talk is 
first, we should try that. if it works and doesn't need much attention, 
we could stream the rest also.


best
Leo
