I have yet to finish my obligations to Plone Conference 2008 until NOW.
I have yet to finish my obligations to Plone Conference 2008 until NOW: approximately 2 years, 6 months, and 23 days after the end of the post-conference sprint.
The story
We had some trouble with the video company and I had to hunt them down to get copies of missing talks. We still didn't get everything, but this is the last of what we did get. I got these missing DVDs about a year ago, and since then I've been trying to find the time to upload them to blip.tv. Invariably, I got stuck on some aspect of the conversion process so I decided to "give up" and just upload the ripped copies to dist.plone.org.
As such, if anyone in the community has the time and expertise to convert these to Quicktime format, I would greatly appreciate it, and I would be happy to upload the results to blip.tv (this is how we did it the first time if I recall correctly.) Until then, they have at least reached their final resting place, and folks can get access to them if they are interested, here:
- WebLion: Bringing Open Sources Practices to the Educational Enterprise
- Introduction to z3c.form
- The Big Green Button: Turning Plone into a dynamic site factory
- Collective Good: Best Practices for Creating, Releasing and Maintaining Add-on Products for Plone
- Why Through-The-Web Development Isn't
- Relational database applications with Plone and SQLAlchemy
- Reaching Deployment Nirvana Using Buildout
Remarkably, some of these newly added videos are still relevant and enjoyable to watch, as are many of the ones already available in the easily browsable archive.
My sincerest apologies to the community and especially to those whose videos were amongst this group for the delay, you should not have had to wait 2 days let alone over 2 years!
Thus, I now declare Plone Conference 2008 to be wrapped. Thanks to Sean Kelly for the help transferring the video to plone.org.
