I've been resisting moving them to On Air because it means I can't
participate. Running IRC-based sessions works well with my schedule
(video doesn't, can't multitask) and I find them much more valuable
since I can skim text-based logs in a few minutes and search for what
I'm looking for (hard to skim video, impossible to search). I also
worry that doing a full presentation on a video will take a lot more
prep time than doing an IRC-based session and our pool of available
contributors to this is also smaller since it restricts it only to
folks who have really good bandwidth, so even planning these will be
more difficult. It's much easier for UOS or Q&A to do videos since
it's more of a conversation, not so much a presentation.

That said, as my schedule increases to get busier this year, I'm not
sure I'll have a lot of time to work on Classroom anyway, so if
someone else wants to work on this and move in the direction of
video-only events, I won't stand in the way.
