HOWTO: Preserving BarCamps
https://shkspr.mobi/blog/2010/11/howto-preserving-barcamps/

Oh! Woe is me! I can't make BarCampLondon 8.  This will be the first BarCamp I've not been able to get to in ages.
Following hashtags is fun, if a little disjointed.  What I really need is some way I could attend virtually.....

Does It Need To Be So Hard?

We don't need expensive crews. We have each other! The very idea of BarCamps is that they should be self-organised.  So, if you're going to BCL8 this year, here's what I would like you to do...


    Got a smartphone or a flip camcorder?  Video the sessions you're in.
    Got a less-than-smart-phone or a dictaphone? Record the audio of the sessions you run or participate in.
    Got neither?  Offer to hold someone else's tech while they present.


Before long, every single session will have coverage of some kind and us poor sods who can't make it will still be able to vicariously share in the pleasure of London's greatest Unconference.

Video

There are loads of places to stick video up on the web.  But most services have time and size restrictions or want you to pay to store your video.  YouTube is limited to 15 minutes (no good for 30 minute BarCamp sessions) and Vimeo is limited to 500MB per week (no good if you've filmed in HD).

Here are two free services which I think will suit the BarCamp Crowd.
