Dear Jason,
 
 I must admit than when I heard the audio I found the talk to be somewhat 
superficial though humorous. However once I saw the video I got convinced that 
your talk has immense technical meat as well.

 If you talk only tech that scares folks away and their attention will not 
stick.

 Anyway I have one important question.

 What software did you use for your slides? 

 I know it is not magicpoint and of course not Monkeysoft stuff.

 What is it?

 Thanks.

 Nice job done! :)

regards,
Girish

Apple Keynote.  I can't imagine creating the same thing in PowerPoint  
or OO Impress.  It simply would have been too painful.  I'm not sure  
how well either would have handled all 260 slides.

Hey Dixon,

What apples and oranges man? :)

Give me some free software tool.

My mission in life is to kick the butt of all proprietary companies.:)

Ok, I think we will not have to wait long before we have such stuff 
available open source...

For now I plan to stick to mgp and S5.

Thanks.

Girish

Jason Dixon has a (Quicktime, MP4 or iPod) video of his talk BSD is Dying 
available for download from  

http://www.sitetronics.com/nycbsdcon2006/

The following videos were created by exporting the original Keynote 
presentation slides into QuickTime video, then manually synchronizing them 
using iMovie HD with the audio recordings captured by Nikolai Fetissov.

it is also viewable online at Google Video
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=7833143728685685343hl=en

I found it very good :)
Informative and funny, great use of slides to enhance the talk.
17 minutes 40 seconds long definately worth a look.

From what I've heard so far, Nikolai's recordings sound great!  I'd be 
interested to know what sort of digital recorder he used.

I haven't been feeling so well the past few days, but I've started 
converting things.  If I'm lucky, I'll have everything done this weekend.  
A few people have contacted me about getting copies so I imagine the 
easiest thing to do would be to mail out CD-R's (DVD-R?) and post mp3's 
for the general public.

I'm currently synchronizing all 260 of my BSD is Dying slides with  
the 20 minute audio.  It should be available online in the next  
couple of days.  It doesn't make much sense without the two at once.

Hi all,
Other than bsdtalk, NYCBUG and some rare one off taster programmes are there 
any recordings of talks about OpenBSD (OGG or MP3) available on the web ?

If anyone has recorded any bsd related audio and wants to send it to me, 
I'd be glad to include it in bsdtalk.
