At least concerning the April 2nd talk I gave on the Linux 2.6 kernel:
- This part you likely know already because I had posted to the list...
The slides are all up in the page for the April meeting, along
with the handout. They were up within a day or two of the talk.
The other location where I've put these files is at:
ftp://ftp.coredump.us/kernel-talk_04-02-2008/
- I did make an audio recording of the talk, but the audio level
seems a bit low, and I was a bit more nervous at the talk than I had
expected I'd be. (What else is new.) Hopefully none of you noticed
that I was having an out-of-body experience up there. :-P I haven't
had time to fully review the audio (okay, I admit it, I've been
avoiding it too because I don't like hearing myself talk, but I've
also been very busy), but after I review it, if I find I can tolerate
it I'll put it up.
- I attempted to make a "video recording" using 'krecordmydesktop' of
the talk, but at the end I forgot to close the video. Ooops. However
I had changed the default location of the temp directory to save the
OGG video to, so I acutally have the video (I think), but it needs to
be edited to crop it to size; unfortunately the laptop display was at
1280x1024 and the external projected video output was 1024x768 and is
centered in the laptop display. i.e. The two displays do not meet at
the top left corner. Plus this video is separate from the audio, and
they need to be combined, and I have zero experience working with
digital video.
And of course I said a few things that I've since found out were wrong.
Phhht. :-P But I suppose that was inevitable.
Anyway that's at least where the stuff for my talk is currently at.
