Webcasts From The Linux Kernel Summit

Posted by Hemos on from the finally-come dept.

It's taken a bit of time, but the webcast from the Linux Kernel Summit is online at OSDN. There's some good talks in there, from some of the big wigs in kernel development - Real is required to view it, but instructions for download/installation are on the site.

    Nope, when we put up the other formats (see my other posts) you'll be able to d/l and archive them. We have no problem with that.

    In the interest of expediency, we've posted real formats, but we have mpg, mp3 and divx formats available, and they'll be up later on.

    does curl or wget speak pnm or rtsp yet? I'd love to archive these. Or would that be in violation of all sorts of copyright rules.... *sigh*

      yep, but it's fetched from a server that communicates via rtsp or pnm. Suggestions on retrieving that file? :)

  5. Real? by Zico · · Score: 2

    Why does the Open Source Developer Network require you to install a closed source program to view the summit? Especially one with such an arduous install process, where most time is spent immediately afterward disabling spam and spyware features.


    Cheers,

  7. Where are the slides? by doom · · Score: 2
    What I'd like to know is where are the slides? I was checking out Lance Larsh's talk about high-performance database needs, and he keeps referring to these diagrams, but all I get to see is his goatee.

    Incidentally, having Lance droning on about elevator algorithms in Real while I've got the "Artifcats" album by Information playing in Freeamp is pretty cool.

    They forgot to give the surname for some guy named Linus.

    I stand by my comment. The broadcasts are interesting and disseminate useful information on what was talked about at the summit. As there was no way I could or even should have been there it is nice that I can see the talks for myself and get something out of it. I also called the parent to my post as I saw it. Maybe I should have elaborated why I disagreed with the parent to this thread. *shrug*

    What is really lame is sitting in a technical meeting to discuss what Exchange can do for your company and listen to a marketdroid talk for half the meeting. At least with these webcasts I'm getting 100% signal.
