"boxes" = computers? Ummm... can't we spend money a little more
sensibly? Are there not 4 Barcelonites who can lend their computers for
the week? How about asking the Generalitat for a loan? We have a
possibility of having 2 Ultras in Barcelona next week, if that helps.

It might be worthwhile streaming guadec-es and guadec-ca, but the other
stuff (BOFs and hackfests) isn't really going to make for great viewing.
It's also worth considering the time & effort of the volunteers doing
the streaming - I'm happy limiting streaming to the core days, but I
would also be happy streaming the Spanish sessions over the weekend. I
don't think it's worthwhile streaming after-hours.

That's rental, right? I also am OK with this. Although in previous
years, we have managed to have 3 cameras supplied on load for the week.
Thomasvs - where did the cameras come from last year?

Cheers,
Dave.
