This is a good point. We should make a point of preserving anything that
comes up there that is worthwhile keeping.
The stream of activity on many channels (eg Total Replay) is mostly noise
when reviewed in retrospect and the important outcomes are captured
elsewhere. But other channels do have important content.
The GEnie and Delphi round tables used to have a monthly newsletter that
captured important bits.
Perhaps a monthly summary of important bits in Slack would be useful for
others to read. The dissemination of this would create wider distribution
and preservation.
The problem with creating this is the time it would take to produce. But
perhaps this is an idea that someone would like to take on?

The YouTube stream from the day of your presentation already exists. A
session specific edit will be published in the future.
The Kfest website does have the provision to capture artifices from
sessions. I encourage you to submit yours to the committee. I understand
that Chris Torrence deals with the website.
