[maemo-community] Maemo Summit - presentation equipment

[From: gary liquid]

Jason,
The software I have written targets the Xv YUV bitplanes and hence as you
say will not show up using VNC plus not everyone will have vnc configured
and prepared to work flawlessly on the day.
If we had a fixed camera people could decide to use it or not and would make
the presentations more interactive.

We just need to find an adjustable angle bracket for a camera...
