There's a difference between allowing someone else to publish your talk or go public with it yourself. There's also a difference in giving a talk to a live audience which is over when its over or having your performance persist on the net until eternity. I'm -1 on rejecting talks from people who want to keep control over how they go live on the net or if at all. > They have no prevision > for exceptions and therefore no need to check when preparing recordings > for release. I think that's a wrong approach. Besides: Recording and editing sessions is a lot of work and that work is better spent on more useful activities, such as e.g. getting a complete list of talk *slides* on the net. -- Marc-Andre Lemburg eGenix.com Professional Python Services directly from the Source (#1, Dec 17 2008) >>> Python/Zope Consulting and Support ... http://www.egenix.com/ >>> mxODBC.Zope.Database.Adapter ... http://zope.egenix.com/ >>> mxODBC, mxDateTime, mxTextTools ... http://python.egenix.com/ ________________________________________________________________________ 2008-12-02: Released mxODBC.Connect 1.0.0 http://python.egenix.com/ ::: Try our new mxODBC.Connect Python Database Interface for free ! :::: eGenix.com Software, Skills and Services GmbH Pastor-Loeh-Str.48 D-40764 Langenfeld, Germany.
