Will Register For Livestream. Or just watch. :)

[Reverend Chip]

I won't be attending YAPC this year, for reasons unrelated to YAPC.  So
far I haven't seen any sign of live streaming of YAPC talks generally. 
Of course I don't feel like I'm entitled, though if registering *did*
entitle me I'd register instantly.  It would be Very Nice nevertheless.

Failing that, would anyone who's going and already has a high-quality
USB mic be willing to bring it?  Then the speakers or YAPC organizers
who decide to stream bits of the conference will be able to generate
good audio which is definitely the Very Most Important Part of any talk
recording.  Running a Google Hangout during hackathons would also be a
very nice way for non-attenders to participate.  Something like
http://www.amazon.com/musical-instruments/dp/B002OO18NS would be ideal
for a hackathon room.

PS: A quick-n-easy way to stream to the world is a Google Hangout On
Air, which goes to Youtube.  Free!  And the codecs are good.

PPS: A camera better than J. Random Webcam would be a nice little bonus,
but it's not nearly as important as a good mic.
PPPS: If anyone reading this is considering streaming, practice at
home.  You don't want to debug your setup on site.
