We\u2019re at the most busy point of organising WebCamp Ljubljana 2016. One of the questions we had to ask ourselves is – should we record the talks? It seemed that in previous years, did it because Kiberpipa and everyone else too. As organizers, we want to question decisions made in previous years. This is why we decided to investigate our decision to record the conference.<\/p>\n
The effort required<\/strong><\/p>\n We have 3 concurrent tracks. That means we need 3 semi-professional cameras with tripods, external mics and all the electricity. To get all of this together, somebody has to prepare and source the equipment. The on the conference day, 3 people are recording and you usually need 1 person extra as a support. Then after everything is over, it has to be edited and published.\u00a0A few more days of work.<\/p>\n How did we do in previous years?<\/strong><\/p>\n I looked through the stats for the videos. I didn\u2019t know what to expect, but our most viewed video had 650+ views and the second one over 500. Then it\u2019s slowly dropping off but a number of videos with 50+ or 100+ is still not too bad.<\/p>\n The real impact<\/strong><\/p>\n One of the questions was – isn\u2019t all this already taught through blogs, books and other conference recordings? And I believe that this just isn\u2019t true. We\u2019re still recording only a small amount of tech content. In addition to that, some speakers resonate well with us, while others we just can\u2019t stand. Numbers show that people are watching and sharing the videos and that we help speakers have longer lasting impact.<\/p>\n So that made it really easy to decide to invest the effort on recording this years WebCamp again.<\/p>\n flickr photo<\/a> shared by Thomas Hawk<\/a> under a Creative Commons ( BY-NC ) license<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" We\u2019re at the most busy point of organising WebCamp Ljubljana 2016.
