If we equip Ben with a video camera (or he equips himself, which could 
be better for the application to travel), he can record all the 
interesting sessions he goes to

There are *a lot* of interesting sessions out there at OLS. After all, 
they're a conference that still actually make you submit a paper (and 
that gets printed in the proceedings), you give an interesting 
presentation based on your paper, and the fact that its interesting and 
missed on video, is kinda sad

I could see that as being valuable to the community of Linux Australia 
members. It would probably also mean that when accepting talks for 
linux.conf.au 2008, we have a lot less repetition (in content) between 
the two conferences
