Agreed. Who could please get on top of this? (Check pages, nag

I almost want to say, if you need to see the presentation live, 
attend the conference :) In some past conferences, there were 
no live streams, and people survived. It's nice to have, but it 
somewhat removes the incentive to support the conference by 
attending.

The best time to get the slides is before the presenter speaks. 
No slides, no speak. Also, if they need to make changes, they can 
always upload a newer version.

Thanks to you, I've fixed my silly binary-tree mistake in one of my 
slides. My slides on dconf.org don't match the ones in the video. :)

Thanks for the great work!

No, you are wrong. It would be really nice to have them. I would say it
was one of the biggest failures of dconf for people who can't attend.

There may be jokes/surprises in the slides that you don't want to give

If there is anything you do not want to make available before talks. You
don't have to ;).

Exactly, I would say it depends on the talk, for my talk I didn't want
to provide the slides beforehand ;-)


Here's a crazy idea: provide a simple/short URL to the slides as the
second slide of your talk (and speak out loud the URL just in case the
camera doesn't get it) :)


This is actually exactly what I did :)

Surely we should make it a requirement that slides are uploaded on the
dconf site, then make sure they only show once the talk starts.

I'd imagine its easier to get most of the admin stuff done before the
conference, because those involved are already busy with it.

Bonus: getting the slides on the presenting machine becomes easy 
too. (Just make sure that the relevant software supports the 
features that your presentation uses, cough...)
