Thank you much for hosting. Before this event I had only met a handful of
livecoders, whereas at LOSS livecode it was excellent to meet plenty system
builders and performers.
The recordings- my suggestion would be to host them all together. I just

Sampling plus seems like the right thing. I consent to this, though I'd love
to get a lossless or uncompressed version as well.

Having different formats for each event (workshop, pub concert, talks, club
night, walk) was an excellent idea. I'm keeping my ears peeled for word of
next year's festival.
Fantastic job,
