Yes I saw part of it few months ago. It looks really interesting but it was
difficult for me to focus due to the quit low signal/noise audio ratio (at
least as my french ears perceived it) and the acoustic of the place didn't
seem to help either.

but in my next phase, I'll try staying behind the camera most of the
> time.  It's not my plan to hog the limelight.


Well, I like to 'see' who's speaking in a video but a good quality audio
part is I believe the most important one (some camcorders come with a 'mic
in' which is useful if the speaker is quite far away from the camcorder).

Also consider ripping the audio track for 'iPod' users. Most people like me
prefer to listen to an audio content while commuting/jogging/shopping and
come back latter for the slides/video/webpages if they want to explore more.

Concerning 'podcasting' I like what Ron Stephens is doing with Python 411:
"The python411 podcasts are created to help people learn Python and learn
about Python."*

*http://awaretek.com/python/index.html

He's always searching for topics, audio contents or people to interview.
If there's a relation between 'learning Python' and folks on this list then
I think it would be great if some of you here would consider to contact him
: he's really open and he's got plenty of downloads :)
