Russell, Thanks for speaking at Ignite Portland. As an organizer, I felt bad about how that turned out. Slides advancing too quickly is part of the fun, but technical problems should never be held against a speaker. We messed up there.
I re-watched the presentation and the A/V fail didn't take as much away from your talk as I had thought at the time. That doesn't make me less sorry, but I hope that makes you realize (as Aaron has mentioned) that much of your message *did* get to the audience. Your slides are also available on SlideShare: http://www.slideshare.net/igniteportland/12-russell-senior-why-publicly-owned-fiber-is-the-answer-to-our-broadband-needs That can be embedded into web pages and spread throughout the land. Thanks again, Russell. And thank you to the whole PTP. You've made the WiFi revolution happen in Portland. --Adam On Feb 21, 6:12 pm, Russell Senior <[email protected]> wrote: > >>>>> "Dietrich" == Dietrich Ayala <[email protected]> writes: > > Dietrich> Are those slides up anywhere? > > They are now, thanks for asking: > > http://www.personaltelco.net/~russell/ignite-portland-5.pdf > > The slides have been critized for their amatuerish productions values, > and I am not going to even try to defend them (they are easily the > worst of IP5), except to say that they hopefully communicated some > important points. > > And here's a link to a video of my "fantastic" presentation.
