Experiencing the GUADEC streaming first-hand this year, in conjunction with running across my presentation from GUADEC2 in Copenhagen while linking to Anna and Pete’s slides on usability.gnome.org, got me all nostalgic for the videos of that 2001 conference. I guess not all that many people might have seen them, because they don’t live anywhere obvious, the files are huge MPEGs, the filenames are useless, and they’ve never been edited.
Undeterred, I tracked down the video of my 2001 talk, and converted it to ogg/theora for good measure. I converted a couple of others along the way, giving them sensible filenames as I was going, just for the hell of it.
Would anybody be interested in my carrying on this little conversion project, or is 2001 just too much like ancient history now? (Or, indeed, would that be the *best* reason to do it..?)
