[SGVLUG] Recordings?

[Lan Dang]

Hi Henry,

That is understandable.  I have a feeling we did not record your talk.  My camcorder was on loan to my parents for the month of September.

I remember learning some cool things from your talk, but it was, as you said when you volunteered to speak, a little rough.  You started out really deep into some topics, and I didn't always know what you were talking about.


While our Youtube channel mostly houses recordings of SGVLUG presentations, there is nothing to say that our members can't do video howtos, screencasts, or 5-minute videos on particular topics.  Shorter videos are easier to digest than long talks.  I still haven't watched most of the videos from hack.summit (https://hacksummit.org/)

For an unpaid, volunteer organization there is no blame to be cast. 

I was just wondering how I did on the presentation I gave, and whether it would be a good thing to show people who might be considering hiring me. Of course if they were all there I would be watching several of the other presentations as well.

I rely on Michael and/or James to figure out where to set up the camera(s).  This always changes from meeting to meeting depending on where the speaker puts his/her laptop and chooses to stand.  Braddock has been great about editing the videos and posting them online in a timely manner.  Annoyingly, my cameras record in avchd.  My new camcorder records in mp4, so that'll be a lot easier to get online assuming we don't have to do much more than trim the start and end.
