I'm proposing to show participants how easy it is to create pod casts using open source tools, and to distribute them on the web using open source blogging platforms. Ideally, participants should have some audio or video material already digitised on their laptops, as I presume there won't be time to take them through capturing any material. Perhaps other demonstrators will be able to show participants how open source tools such as Audacity can be used to record audio.

I'll be showing people how to use ffmepeg to transcode video for podcasting, and how Audacity can be used to prepare audio recordings for podcasting.
