 \subsubsection*{Abstract}
 
-This talk aims at three goals: to share the knowledge and experience achieved
-by video team members during debconf5 and elsewhere. I will explain how the
-debconf videos were made, so others can use this knowledge and the service
-provided by the meetings archive to preserve "their" meetings. 
+This roundtable or workshop serves to aims: First, to report how the video 
+team has worked so far and get some feedback on this. Second, we want to give 
+people, who just became involved, a complete picture of what the video team has 
+been and will be doing in Oaxtepec to produce live streams and files, which 
+will end up in \url{http://meetings-archive.debian.net/pub/debian-meetings/2006/debconf6/}
 
-As a second goal, we obviously want to receive feedback and strive for
-suggestions how to improve our work.
+The debconf videoteam wants to motivate *YOU* to join us here and now (that is
+before this BOF will be held), so you can help us to improve our workflow, 
+produce even better recordings and have a good time at debconf6 with a lighter
+workload then at debconf6.
 
-The third goal is more short-term and selfish: the debconf6 videoteam wants to
-motivate *YOU* to join us here and now so that we can improve our workflow,
-produce even better recordings and are able to distribute our workload better.
+For specific tasks, like operating the cameras or audio equiqment, we also plan
+to hold training sessions, which will take place just before DebianDay. Please
+don't wait for this BOF session if you want to become involved, show up and 
+participate as early as you can!
 
-The following aspects will be mentioned during the talk:
-\begin{itemize}
-  \item hardware requirements to record videos
-    \begin{itemize}
-      \item cams \& mics
-      \item data storage 
-    \end{itemize}
-  \item the (free or not so free) software used 
-  \item how to do it: recording \& post-processing
-  \item organizing the team / how you can help
-  \item \url{http://meetings-archive.debian.net/pub/debian-meetings}
-    \begin{itemize}
-      \item usage statistics
-      \item future goals and rules to upload data
-    \end{itemize}
-\end{itemize}
 
-Especially to achieve the third goal it would be useful to have this talk in
-the very beginning of debconf6, so that people can still join and help.

-\subsubsection*{Details:}
-
-More specifically, the discussion should be about
-\url{http://meetings-archive.debian.net/pub/debian-meeting/} - I'll be aiming
-at giving a short 15 minute presentation about the status quo and my ideas for
-the future, followed by a 30 minutes discussion.

-\subsubsection*{history (2min.)}
+\subsubsection*{The work of the video team is divided into the following areas:
+}
 \begin{itemize}
-  \item started as an unofficial subproject at debconf5 in Helsinki
+  \item camera team
+  \item audio mixer
+  \item dv grabbing, streaming, encoding
+  \item uploading, archiving
+  \item collecting slides
+  \item producing DVDs
 \end{itemize}
 
-\subsubsection*{status quo (8min.)}
+\subsubsection*{Open questions:}
 \begin{itemize}
-  \item technical: upload rights, hosting, backup
-  \item organisational: currently I'm the only one with write access :(
-  \item licence wise
-\end{itemize}
-
-\subsubsection*{future ideas (35min.)}
-\begin{itemize}
   \item technical:
     \begin{itemize}
-      \item hosting of the sources possible (12gb per hour of video)
-      \item backup
+      \item hosting of the sources sensibly possible? (12gb per hour of video)
+      \item backup of the complete archive
     \end{itemize}
   \item scope: is the archive for debian meetings only? i.e. from FOSDEM or LinuxTag only the debian specific talks were considered, should we try to have other free software content in the archive?
   \item organisational:
