Re: [orca-list] Fw: Seeking webcasts of the Sun presentations

[Peter Korn <Peter Korn Sun COM>]

Hi Hermann,

We made a concerted attempt to record all of the Sun sessions, as well 
as Joanie's Orca-related sessions and a couple ODF sessions.  I have 
just finished going through all of the video tapes, and am horrified to 
find out that ALL of them have sound problems.  Not only was the sound 
quality a problem (a lot of hiss and noise), but with EVERY tape, we 
only have the first few minutes of audio and then it is lost.

I see now why folks pay for professional video recording (a colleague 
borrowed my video camera and tripod, but the camera was new to him, and 
...).

We do have video & audio from two Orca sessions from CSUN 2006 (as well 
as the ODF panel discussion).  Please see:

Also, I know that some individuals attempted to make their own 
recordings (both audio and video) of some of these sessions.  If we 
manage to get copies of those, we'll post pointers to them.
