###Hackathons###
Proposed date: Friday 5th of October We're putting together some events where those interested (from Occupy tech groups, etc) in developing or using open source tools for broadcasting live video and/or distributed recording of such video as evidence. We will gather in NYC.

##System diagram##
Jeff: I put together a system diagram which distinguishes between the code which it's practical to roll your own vs. stuff which we'd be running at a centralized Peepol.tv website. All would be open source, of course... but the former (shown in green boxes) are the parts I expect the open source community to be most interested in.
