Yeah, except that would involve publicly admitting just HOW backlogged I
am :)

Could the talks page be updated to have a fuller list of talks, perhaps
with bold for the ones that were recorded and the text "if a recorded
talk is not available on this page, email Jan Schmidt to request a copy
of the recording"?

Not a silly question at all - that's the right place to find talks. The
problem is converting them takes ages, especially since the audio is coming
out quite dodgy on a lot of our recordings. As a consequence, the encoded
versions get converted and distributed more or less according to the amount
of demand I receive.

erm, silly question - where can they all be found? the only ones listed
on:
http://www.slug.org.au/talks/

Are one from January and another from April - am I looking in the wrong
place?

Cheers,

Sorry, I didn't think to turn the camera on until half way through, so I
missed the talks. We've got a recording of Luke's awesome Accessibility
talk though.

Thanks Ken for the write-up - it's really great to see these after the
meetings :)

We had a talk on a Legal initiative and this sounds great.  I was
pushing them to set up something like groklaw Aust  then I can
understand the Australian laws as well as the US laws (mind you FTA is
screwing that up a LOT!)
Finally Luke talking about accessibility for the blind and frameworks.
This was an excellent talk and puts us developers on notice to
understand the other side.
Thanks one and all, excellent meeting.

[SLUG] talks last night

2004-11-26 Thread Ken Foskey

I would like to thank the three people from last night.  These were
extremely interesting talks.

We had a talk on IP telephony.  This was great and the idea of a IP
phone that plugs into my network for overseas calls without a computer
sounds great.  (Easy is good right now...)

We had a talk on a Legal initiative and this sounds great.  I was
pushing them to set up something like groklaw Aust  then I can
understand the Australian laws as well as the US laws (mind you FTA is
screwing that up a LOT!)

Finally Luke talking about accessibility for the blind and frameworks.
