It would also be helpful if authors could be convinced to use "reverse
video" slides, i.e. light text on dark background.

at ZKM we were somewhat limited in the lecture hall due to locations of
network/power wrt to the speakers. So we were up close to the speaker
which sometimes made it tough to keep a speaker in frame if they started
wandering around very much. We'll see what the rooms in Berlin are like
in terms of camera placement options. Of course, there is always the
option of speaker-tethering.

I'm trying out flumotion this week here at home which is supposed to be
able to mulitplex audio from a non-DV source. Hopefully this will prove
usefull. We'll do our best, but please remember that it is a volunteer
operation. ;)
