Another way to see videos from the conference is at

"Tag: MeeGo Conference San Francisco 2011"

Unfortunately, the associated feed
http://video.linux.com/taxonomy/term/1164/0/feed
gives only the most recent episodes, instead of the entire conference,
as one would hope.

For the previous conference, Thomas Perl created a feed that works
with feed readers like gpodder:
http://pipes.yahoo.com/pipes/pipe.edit?_id=33e4531a4cab1ffd01ff38c8d7cfb67c
Unfortunately, it's not working currently, failing on the feed
http://video.linuxfoundation.org/rss.xml

Browsing either of the LF feeds gives an abbreviated list of videos,
that, when browsed in firefox4, allow you to click on the ".flv"'s for
individual links, and then gnome-mplayer plugin plays it back
in-browser (I have this setup on both meego 1.2 tablet and netbook
via http://wiki.meego.com/MeeGo-Lem , so i can use
Firefox4/mplayer/flv/mp3/wmv/avi/etc for media playback -- using gl2
-- just like on desktop, without needing flash, and without popping up
extra 'player' apps and disrupting one's context...).

In either case, proper full-length feeds would be a much nicer way for
some of us to catch up on all the sessions missed, especially since
most media-savvy feed-players can help track what you've watched or
get back to where you left off after pausing to watch something else.

Can someone at the Linux Foundation fix the MeeGo conference feeds to
return the full list, or suggest a way of getting the full list?

Of course, this could be "scraped" off the web -- might almost be
easier than dealing with feeds and their formatting. Valid videos
start at http://video.linux.com/video/1000 and end at
http://video.linux.com/video/2082 however, it's not clear which of
those correspond to the MeeGo conference unless you filter for
metadata:
matching <meta name="description"
content="http://sf2011.meego.com/program/sessions/"; />...
