Hi Olivier and everyone, I did some exploration to try and find the videos of the presentations. It seems to be they haven't been published yet.
However, here are the places I think we need to watch... http://archive.apachecon.com/eu2012/presentations/07-Wednesday/L2L-Web_Infra/ http://archive.apachecon.com/eu2012/presentations/08-Thursday/L2L-Linked_Data_and_OfBiz/ If I have that wrong and they're somewhere else, or if anyone notices that content has appeared in these folders, please tell the mailing list.
