I really don't have anything I can feasibly use for recording. If someone else does record it, I'll be sure to get a copy and post it.

At the presentation, I received a lot of feedback about Joomla. Here in Washington, a lot of PHP programmers have a hard time convincing federal offices to use open-source products, as they typically use Microsoft exclusively. One of the requirements that Joomla does not currently fulfill is full compliance with Section 508 accessibility guidelines. Both front facing AND administrative pages must fully comply with 508 to be used for federal sites. I know this is in the roadmap for future versions, but thought I'd pass it along as the issue did come up.
