So, what happened with the videos of the last conference? Last thing I heard
was that they were going to be delivered on Friday (like two months ago).

Did I miss them?

Thanks

I think they have passed into the realm of myths and legends. Soon, these fabled pieces of history will be remembered only by those who were there, and then they will be lost forever. -- Simen

We all miss them... Speaking serously, these are the last news on topic (to my knowledge): On Mon, 23 Jun 2008 11:46:58 +0400, Brad Roberts <braddr puremagic.com> wrote:
 On the good news front.  I have the videos from 2007 finally!  I need to
 watch them and get google video's to digest them.  This will take some
 time and I'll try to get it done asap.  My first attempt to send one to
 google looks to be a bust (2 seconds of gray != 90 minutes of
 presentation).  More on this over the course of the week.
So, we still have a hope!

It's true.. I really do have them. I've even watched a tiny portion of the two days. It's no longer anyone's fault but mine that they're not posted. I'd intended to watch to confirm the quality of the videos and post them this past holiday weekend, but then I went and got sick instead. I'd have much rather watched the videos, trust me. I'll do my best to get at least walter and andrei's talks posted tonight with the rest to follow as I can. Later, Brad

Why make that a one man's job? If you post them, I'm sure you'll have plenty of people watching them and pointing out problems.

I wonder where the best places to announce these videos publicly are? I mean once you release them. Perhaps digit? A high volume of links to the videos will increase their google popularity rating right? -Joel

Short form: Google now has both parts of 'the future of d', marked private until I finish watching both parts (uploaded before I got a chance to watch it, so doing so directly from google rather than the file I sent). Long form: Google video is a pain in the ass. It accepted the first upload (over a gig), but wouldn't let me view it. The second time (700 meg version -- lower bitrate) I tried to upload it, it took all night. I started it when I got home last night and after 4 hours, it was still trickling slow over (no where near my bandwidth caps). It finished while I slept. I started the upload of the second half to occur while I was at work today and it looks like it took 3ish hours (for another 700 megs). I'm going to finish watching both halves tonight while more videos are uploading. As I watch them, I'll mark them public and post the relevant info on .announce. The primary reason I'm watching them is that at least one of them is _supposed_ to have a discussion at the end trimmed out. I don't remember exactly when it occurred (other than that it was on the second day). It diverged into the single issue that I was asked to stay away from when I got permission to host the conference... licenses. That's the ONLY topic that won't be posted publicly and only constituted about 10-15 minutes. Quality is the second, and won't stop me from uploading unless it's outright unwatchable. Making sure they're _my_ videos is the third. I won't want to be responsible for posting videos from other amazon presentations publicly by accident. It'd take a lot of really stupid accidents to have that happen, but it only takes watching 'em once through to be certain, so it's a small price to pay. The quality of the parts I've watched as been 'ok' but not 'great'. More soon.. Later, Brad

Ahem.. you're _way_ off base here. The _only_ aspect at which Amazon could be blamed is the time it took to get me the videos, but I'm also cutting the guys a bunch of slack due to reasons I'm NOT GOING TO GO INTO. Every thing else is _me_ and _my_ desire to be cautious. You want to blame me for it, fine. Go ahead. It's your problem and I don't give a rats ass. Later, Brad

yarp it's not "only". it's pretty much it.
It's entirely you're right to feel slighted and feel free to continue to feel that way, however... I should make it clear that the delay had nothing to do with lawyers or any policy problems. Remember that I work for Amazon (and respect the people I work with) and that they donated the space and an awful lot of money. Additionally, they were prepared to host it again, but I canceled purely due to lack of talks from the community. Be glad that the conference happened at all. Be glad that I volunteered to put in the time and effort to bring it together. Be glad that the pdf and ppt files have been available since the conference ended. Be glad that the thing was taped _at all_. And as soon as I hit the public button, be glad you're able to watch them. Bad talk me and the company I work for further, and I'll be very tempted to take my toys and go home, so to speak. Sigh, Brad
