Didn't see "tape changing" yet, as i frequently do in Google Talks, but not having even mics
for questions, is pretty much uncomfortable.

Also wonder, why uploading isn't done in (semi-)real time to multi-terabyte systems at
Google-Video...

Mics for questions almost never works.  Usually someone gets half a question out before the
organiser reaches them with the mic, they repeat about half of it either far too quietly or
far too loud, etc, etc.  All speakers were asked to repeat the question as asked, which I
think is the best model.

Hmm... Let's dream about userspace technology, rather than GUI in Plasma, robots, homes or parsers(ANTLR) crap, on Linux (The Kernel) Conf.

I noticed, audience have many laptops there, everyone of which has a mic. Also i'm pretty sure, there are many pocket phones and wireless(BlueTooth) microphones as well.

So, what's the problem to utilize all this hardware for simple human-friendly (as for lecturer as for listeners) manner --

"Q&A in Linux wAY"?

Or Linux is all about inf. compiling, patching paperwork and tar-rolling technology for big irons (yea, userspace suck, but anyway)?

Also, the uploads were done in semi-realtime (I think the Wednesday keynote was uploaded
within about an hour) to the linux.conf.au site in Theora, which is IMO pretty impressive.
