Excellent work Nick! For posterity and mail-search, ApacheCon conference archives and past event links are hosted on domains the ASF controls (apachecon.com) and primarily on ASF hardware, although newer events might still be on Linux Foundation hardware:
Official ApacheCon archive home: http://archive.apachecon.com Listing of all past conferences: http://archive.apachecon.com/c/ Source control (ASF repos): https://svn.apache.org/repos/infra/apachecon/ Setup tips from an infra ticket: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA-10489 Agree about figuring out an archive for the sched schedules. Also, we have enough content now that (separately) it'd be worth setting up a "Past ApacheCon Slide Highlights" URL or something, where we could more directly link to simple listings of slides from past conferences. We have a LOT of great slides (and sometimes video/audio), but they're hard to find unless you were "there". Even having a stable URL like community.a.o/speakers/slides with a more direct link to plain listings of slides from different cons would be a start for ComDev to ponder. - Shane On 9/24/15 10:26 AM, Nick Burch wrote: > On Thu, 24 Sep 2015, Rich Bowen wrote: >>> I think that someone (Rich?) did a cleanup of it fairly recently, to >> avoid confusion over current events.
