>>I wonder if Doug, Tamar and Rick would allow me to record the presentations? The speakers would have to agree.
You could ask privately... but Doug H has stated one concern: that providing such material for free reduces the incentive to attend which risks making the conference unviable. If the conference doesn't go ahead this year, at least that will spare victims the horrors of hoarding and genocide.
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
