[EuroPython] Anyone inspired to record audio for the world?

[Hunter Peress]

I sent this message below, trying to get someone to do audio recordings. 

no luck yet. here is a small page that is a slightly different version of the technical steps i
gave previously. it will be *very* simple to make audio recordings. all you need is a laptop and a
hook in to the house system, and if not, then a decent quality microphone.
