I was there, but not as an +attendee! I actually am part of a student organization called GConfs (a pun on +Gconf, the gnome configuration tool, and conferences) that's composed of +students of Epita (a french CS engineering school) and organizes conferences. +Since we also have some competence in recording/streaming talks, we were +selected to do the A/V work for all talks. + +![opening_talk](https://pub.wxcafe.net/img/eurobsdcon_opening_talk.jpg) + +As a member of that org (and a BSD enthusiast), I volunteered to help with that +and got the chance to go and watch a few talks from the A/V table :) This was +an amazing experience! I didn't know much about recording video and audio and +streaming when the weekend started, and now I can work out something from +a mixing table in a hurry with little trouble. + +![mixing_table](https://pub.wxcafe.net/img/eurobsdcon_table_mixage.jpg) + +I'm glad I got the chance to be there, meet a few people I've wanted to have +a chat with for a long time, and lend my laptop to Theo de Raadt for his talk +(he ended up using another one, but hey :p). I didn't think doing A/V work was +this intensive, and as a result I couldn't follow the talks as much as I wanted, +so now I have a motivation for doing the post-production work and publish the +recordings so I can actually *watch* the talks! + +![Michael W. Lucas](https://pub.wxcafe.net/img/eurobsdcon_mwl_talk.jpg) + +Anyway, it's been a pretty good time. I'd like to thank the organization of the +conference again here, and other people in GConfs who made it possible for us to +work on this and were there with me to fiddle with the recording and microphones +and to make everything work. See you next year in Romania (uh I'm not actually +sure we can make it there... sorry) + +![Theo De Raadt](https://pub.wxcafe.net/img/eurobsdcon_theo_talk.jpg) + +PS: catch me at 34c3 if you want one of these stickers :p + +![Stickers](https://pub.wxcafe.net/img/eurobsdcon_stickers.jpg)
