Re: [PLUG] systemd presentation

So I've been attending North, and have a related question. I have a rather decent camera, a tripod, the whole enchilada, and I'd like to set it up at the back, at sufficient height to clear everyone, record presentations and put them on Youtube for my and the LUG's enjoyment. Do I need to get approval from anyone first? I previously recorded school board meetings, and while the meeting itself and the presenters and officials were considered informed participants, non-presenting audience members were not, and if they were identifiable in the recording, had to be blurred out or sign a waiver.

While I doubt we'd need anything like that, I just wanted to make sure there's some sort of official or semi-official approval before offering to record each meeting.

For legal purposes, it might even be wise to have some sort of disclaimer on the meeting location page, or make a periodic mass mailing advising everyone when recording might happen and asking them to not attend or be aware if they have reservations or objections.

For what it's worth, had i thought about it, I actually have a tripod
at North for next time. So someone remind me if we want to do this
again and I'll make it available.
