That I do take issue with. After the organizers and the speakers invested very significant effort in making this event happen, the basic complaint here is that they can't get free content out fast enough.
It may be a nice idea to offer advance access to Kickstarter contributors though.
There are three basic issues. One obvious one is postprocessing and uploading, work that's quite time-intensive and merciless (literally so as this thread shows). Second is keeping the temporal arc going with our announcements and discussions - releasing all at once would cannibalize the conference. Third, Kickstarter contributors have put money and speakers have put hard work into this; it would be disrespectful to _them_ to dilute the value of the conference ("nah, I don't care to go; after all I can always watch the free videos the day after".)
We could and should adjust the release schedule to make it optimal with regards to the desiderata above. Two a week has been an initial thought.
Please think it over and exercise reason. Thanks, Andrei
