A Chat With USENIX Community Manager Rikki Endsley (Video)

Posted by Roblimo on Thursday January 17, 2013 @07:25AM from the greybeards-and-college-students-and-lots-of-beer dept.

Rikki Endsley has been Community Manager for USENIX since September, 2011. She also edits their magazine, ;login:, writes for publications ranging from Linux.com to Network World, and is a long-distance runner to boot. But this interview concentrates on USENIX, a worthy organization that does a great job of helping its members (and the entire Unix/Linux community) stay up to date technically and, with its job board, keep USENIX members employed. Toward the end of the conversation, Rikki mentions some of the intangible but valuable benefits people get when they attend USENIX events.

Another day, another video by g051051 · 2013-01-17 07:39 · Score: -1, Troll

OK, here's an actual, real solution to the "video problem". Since you're creating summaries and transcripts, post *those* on the front page and either have a video link in the story or just leave the videos on the video tab. This isn't perfect, because all the videos you keep making are atrocious, but at least alleviates part of the problem.
The solution, of course, is to STOP MAKING THESE AWFUL VIDEOS.
