The presentations will be available "real soon now" but the videos may take a bit longer. Indeed, there will be a cross-section of videos available soon. We're working on the schedule for these, but it takes some time to post- process the videos and then we're probably not going to put them up all at once, nor will all of them appear. Three of the four tracks were taped, and we'll pick some highlights (I'm taking suggestions - email me with your ideas if you liked a particular talk or want to see something specific.) We have to balance a few things - if we put all the talks up, there is a fear (not universally held, I might add) that it will effect attendance next year. Even a few percentage points would make the conference go from what is essentially a break-even to "in the red" and that's something we're trying very, VERY hard to avoid. However, posting the best talks will also excite people about attending next year, so that's a positive for the conference. Also, we'd like to use the talks as more than just advertising for AstriCon. These videos will hopefully be used for various teaching purposes, or for convincing people that they can do fantastic things with Asterisk just like the speaker did. I hope to see them used as sales tools that are used with management when skilled IT staff need to make a point about Asterisk; I hope to see them used in educational sessions where students can learn about how to use free tools; I hope to see them used in discussions with governments about who is already using OSS Asterisk to solve telecommunications problems.
