** Recording of talks

The FOSDEM organizers plan to have live streaming and recording fully
working, both for remote/later viewing of talks, and so that people can
watch streams in the hallways when rooms are full. This requires
speakers to consent to being recorded and streamed. If you plan to be a
speaker, please understand that by doing so you implicitly give consent
for your talk to be recorded and streamed. The recordings will be
published under the same license as all FOSDEM content (CC-BY).

Hope to hear from you soon! And please forward this announcement.

If you have any further questions, please write to the mailinglist at
storage-devroom at lists.fosdem.org and we will try to answer as soon as
possible.

Thanks!
