I organized a few a while back in Argentina but as I mentioned before privately in the conference, there were more like open events to spread the word, not closed, more developer-oriented conferences. But anyway, I was talking purely from the "user" POV, I don't claim to have any knowledge about PR or marketing at all (even more, I tend to hate marketing because it based on introducing artificial artifacts or manipulating the reality in some way, but that's a different topic). One example conference that I certainly know that releases all the material at once is the LLVM conference, for example: http://isocpp.org/blog/2013/05/clang-llvm-conference-videos-and-slides-are-now-available I know other linux conferences do that but I can't remember particular examples right now. > >I even think is anti-PR to do such a thing (I can see how > >making one announcement each couple of days in reddit/etc. can help keep > >D in the spot but I don't see any reason why not to upload the actual > >stuff and link it in the conference website). > > There is evidence indicating we are doing the right thing. On what > basis do you believe it's negative for PR? My personal experience, just that. For me it sucks not being able to see the talks I couldn't attend. I just assume there is more people like me out there, I guess is not a very wild guess (in fact there has been quite a few other people complaining about this in the NG, even when some supported spreading the videos releases thinking it was better for D). > >People that is actively looking for the stuff should be able to find it. > >People that doesn't know about the conference, should get a notification > >about a new video once in a while. > > People who are actively looking for the stuff will sure find it > forever - just with a little delay at start, which I have explained > why I find entirely reasonable. Well, we disagree, I think people actively looking for the stuff should be able to access the stuff (when is technically possible to do so). Again, I agree that spreading the announcements in reddit over time is a good thing. > >Still, 10 months seems crazy.

If you read the text you are quoting, I'm saying between 1 and 2 months seems reasonable (so I can't explain why is it unreasonable :) I can live with that, even when I still think it will be way better to just upload everything and only make the announcements three times a week. -- Leandro Lucarella (AKA luca) http://llucax.com.ar/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- GPG Key: 5F5A8D05 (F8CD F9A7 BF00 5431 4145 104C 949E BFB6 5F5A 8D05) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Hoy traje las fotos de mi colon, las quieren ver? -- Rata
