The various Youtube videos recorded at Julia conferences look very good.
It's great to have explanations given by the experts at the top of the
Julia tree, no names mentioned, you know who you are. Thanks for this
resource.
>From the consumer side, the packages are kinda long. I imagine that many,
with the exception of the cohort that wants to see every second live, would
benefit from shorter edited versions that present concisely what the
speaker wants to say. Not a problem, you say, we just need someone to find
the time to sit down and pull out the *obiter dicta* to leave the kernels.
But where do we find this time? It can be challenging to decide where to
cut.
It is a well-known practice in the political arena to give presentations
that make the editing process easy so that the press gets the right
message, the principal points in a short bite with easily identifiable
chunks to illustrate the points made in further detail, each in its own
right a standalone element.
The speakers are excellent and experienced presenters. They know that they
must tailor the presentation to the audience; my suggestion is that when
they look out on the hundreds of people in their immediate room, they keep
in mind the tens of thousands who will tune in later.
Does the video manager have any details on the number of learners accessing
these videos and the amount of time they remain glued to the screen?
