[PLUG-AV] big thanks for last night

[Jason Nicholls]

I just wanted to give a big thanks to the AV team who did an awesome job for
our VIP talk last night.

The videos have great audio thanks to Euan and good video despite the
continuous issues with our video feeds (including one box dying completely -
looked like PSU failure Leon?). At one point Leon had to go and fix the
screen grab box during the talk and I don't think anyone really even noticed
:) Luke was quick to catch and restart his vid camera each time it turned
off. What I liked most was that people took care of their stuff and happy to
think on their feet.

Mumble worked out pretty well I thought so I'm keen to have this running in
the future too.

And thanks to everyone else that helped set things up, run cables, etc...
and pack up at the end.


Despite all the hands and 1.5hrs things still felt a bit pressed for time
including the networking coming online pretty late (thanks to Mark for
sorting that out). We also couldn't get the 3rd camera going (Michael did
you work this out in the end?) and the 2nd camera station dying during the
night meant we only had one camera for the panel which wasn't ideal. But all
in all, great stuff - thanks everyone!


PS: yes it's obvious we need more equipment and more reliable equipment
(still waiting on that grant!)
