I really enjoy the presentation on sites like http://www.infoq.com/ where the slides and the presenter get their separate space. I would very much like to have the VPRI talks available in such a format. I also think the presentations deserve it as they often are long the making and can give better understanding than a paper can. Most of the software from VPRI is available but it is often hard to get a grasp without the whole context. And much of the systems I'm not familiar with so it's very a steep learning curve. A few videos from presentations could really enlighten here :-) Best regards Karl _______________________________________________ fonc mailing list [email protected] http://vpri.org/mailman/listinfo/fonc
