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

[Tom Deprez]

Hi,

For what it's worth, we hire the same installations of last year (ie
projectors, recording material etc).
So, this means that it isn't much different from last year :-).

So people interested in proccessing this data after the conference,
please let us know.
The best thing to do is volunteer on this list or contact Jean-François.

Regards,
Tom.
