On FOSDEM this attempt failed two years in a row. Last year the reason
was: the camera had to be on the top level line with seats. Else it
would only record parts of the room, eeither only the speaker and not
the projector wall or vise versa. But this camera position resulted in a
very bad light situation and in addition the sun protection darkened the
room even more.
You not only need a camera, you also need someone operating this camera
all the time.
