This is a good idea.  There are a few potential reasons why we may not
do it.

1) The speaker does not want to be recorded.
2) Getting audio/video equipment.
3) The potential bandwidth consumed with hosting the files.
   I will need to discuss with Tim about if OSDL will let us
   do this or not.  Not to mention disk space.

Most likely only #1 is a real stopping point.  #2 and #3 as I can
already see with Alain and Josh's enthusiasm will not be too much of a
problem.

I can make this an item to discuss during tomorrow's meeting.

Although, top posters may not get access to the files ;-)

Cheers,
Zev
