My guess is that Christian is well aware of licensing and permissions legalities. I'd take his assurance that he'll record the event properly, maybe get some notion from him as to how he'll approach the speaker wrt use rights.

Hi BALUG volunteers: Chrisitan Einfeldt is curious to know whether or not he can film BALUG’s January meeting. I see no problem with this, but I do know that SVLUG had a bit of an uproar when some of their sessions were recorded by Google and posted on Youtube w/o a free licenses. I would want to ensure that the BALUG community had access to the film. For me, posting to Youtube (or preferably another higher quality site) would be good enough, but having witnessed the SVLUG spat, it might be better to request the film be licensed under the creative commons or something like that. If we don’t hear back from anyone on this issue, the default is going to be to let Christian film so long as he makes it accessible to BALUG in some way. -Andrew

please put me on the list!
Also, would it be okay if I film there? I am not sure that I will, in fact film, simply because the lighting at that restaurant is too dark. But it would be nice to know if I could film there. Maybe just shoot a few people having dinner with Eric and the other BALUGers.
Thanks either way.
