I can volunteer server power for VNC-ness. Probably. Depending on how it
needs to be set up - I've never really done it before. I also have a
bluetooth headset and an asterisk server and an awesome phone, so
could /probably/ get the audio into the headset, onto the asterisk
server over sip into a conference room of some sort that other SIP-ees
could listen into and get recorded. Or out again via RDP or something
similar. Again, not something I've done before ;)

Can't help with videoing of the talk itself, although I do know a guy
who's done some YSTV stuff. Their equipment generally seems a bit...
big? Bulky? Hey-owwwge? But who knows, maybe they've got a digital
camcorder hiding away somewhere that'd do the job nicely.
