Hi Megan, thanks for asking. Unfortunately our venue doesn't support live streaming (we're grateful to the Library of Congress for the free public space) but we are working on finding a volunteer to record it. If we're successful, we'll post the results on the OSI site - opensource.org .

Thanks for sharing, Unidentified !
Cheers,
Deb
