Thanks to Victor Grigas and Matthew Roth we've got excellent video and photo documentation of our San Francisco Hackathon. We felt it important to capture the tutorials/workshops as well as the final showcase of projects completed at the event. Hopefully the videos will prove useful as future training resources.
Huge thanks to Sumana for taking the lead on making this happen, as well as improving on-wiki documentation, and big kudos to the presenters (Brion Vibber, Yuvi Panda, Tomasz Finc, Roan Kattouw) for all their work preparing and delivering these presentations.
I uploaded them to Commons in the original resolution transcoded to Ogg Theora. This will be hard to stream for lots of folks, so I recommend downloading for easier playback. (In the glorious TMH feature, we'll have these automatically transcoded to multiple resolutions and to WebM for easier viewing.)
Finally, we're still evolving how to best shoot these kinds of videos. Obviously it'd be great to do a composite of speaker & screen -- tips for doing this in a low cost way that doesn't require software to be installed on presenter laptops are appreciated.
