Re: [SLUG] SLUG January meeting video (Microsoft QA) is online
Thanks for putting the January meeting online on so promptly. For me, the material has sparked a few interesting conversations with friends in the industry. I've noticed how MS folk tout their openness as though they have solved the interoperability problem in one fowl swoop. I wouldn't want to cause offence to the great people who work there, but in reality, they have only offered a very small window into Microsoft technology under the Open Specification Promise (OSP). Other companies such as Sun Microsystems have been put into a position that they must make some of their largest projects open source in order to have a hope of market share. We live in very interesting times indeed... Thanks, Robbie -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html

I've compared that slide with the original HD version of the video (in which the slides are mostly readable) and apart from the title there is no difference. Also ECMA - Current Disposition on Standards is missing. We seem to have a different version of what was presented. In its place, we have a 'Developer Support' slide which I didn't see in the video. Again, the ECMA slide is (mostly) legible in the HD version. (The graphics quality of the rendering to PDF didn't seem to work out well - despite it being well documented standard ;-) ) I did notice that.

[SLUG] SLUG January meeting video (Microsoft QA) is online
Hi SLUGgers! The video from January's SLUG meeting[0] is now online! This meeting was of special significance due to our guests being four representatives from Microsoft Corporation. You can download the video from [1]. It's a two-parter, so be sure to grab both files. As always, we make our video available in the Ogg Theora format[2]. You will also find the slides in PDF (we asked for them to be converted from OOXML). In the future, we hope to have our video hosted by Linux Australia. For the moment, we're hosting it ourselves. Please go easy on our Web server, and if anyone is willing to mirror/torrent it, go right ahead!
