We'll see, some might be recorded.  We live in a world of cheap technology -- 
people are running around with recording gear.  That's different from the 
program committee taking explicit steps to ensure that all the sessions are 
recorded.

Not just me...it's the program committee.  Like Boost itself we're working 
with volunteer labor -- we simply don't have infinite cycles to do everything. 
     To date we've been over-extended in my view.
