Last year, when the meetings moved earlier, I gave up.
There've been lots of things I'd have loved to see.
Getting there from here was a struggle at 19:00,
and 18:30 was the last straw.
The year before, Andrew gave a - ummm - vaguely positive
response to the idea of recording or videoing some of the
presentations, to be available to LUVers who can't attend.
Can we have a think about what might make podcasts or
streams of the meeting presentations possible? Or whether
anything would make them impractical?

Speakers:
* Russell Coker, M.2
* Rodney Brown, CRCs
Russell Coker, M.2
According to Wikipedia M.2, formerly known as the Next Generation Form
Factor (NGFF), is a specification for internally mounted computer
expansion cards and associated connectors. It replaces the mSATA
standard, which uses the PCI Express Mini Card physical card layout and
connectors. Russell has been experimenting with M.2 cards for high-speed
storage.
Russell Coker has done lots of Linux development over the years, mostly
involved with Debian.
Rodney Brown, CRCs
According to Wikipedia, a cyclic redundancy check (CRC) is an
error-detecting code commonly used in digital networks and storage
devices to detect accidental changes to raw data. Blocks of data
entering these systems get a short check value attached, based on the
remainder of a polynomial division of their contents. CRCs are popular
because they are simple to implement in binary hardware, easy to analyze
mathematically, and particularly good at detecting common errors caused
by noise in transmission channels.

I record (for personal use at least) the talks at LUV - most folk seem
aware of this ... However several talks are not good to listen back at
as the speaker does not present in a clear manner. I have a stack of
these now and listen from time to time making transcripts and picking
out the new buzz words and definitions etc. It is not a co-ordinated
effort and to be done well would require co-ordination and commitment...

I hadn't noticed. But if you are going to do that it would be better to have
your recording device on the podium to get the best quality.
However several talks are not good to listen back at
as the speaker does not present in a clear manner.
Please try and keep a positive approach. The vast majority of speakers are
volunteers who do it for fun. We need to keep it fun for them. Sure you can
suggest improvements but they need to be focussed on the positive and give
clear ways for improvement. Also suggestions should go to the committee not
to the public lists.
