TrustyCon Session Videos Now Online

The RSA conference counter-conference TrustyCon livestreamed its videos and made the seven hour video available. Al Billings wasn't happy with that, and split the videos into segments for easy viewing. Quoting: "I don't know about you but I like my viewing in smaller chunks. I also tend to listen to talks and presentations, especially when there is no strong visual component, by saving the audio portion of it to my huffduffer account and listening to the resulting feed as a podcast. I took it on myself to do a quick and dirty slice and dice on the seven plus hour video. It isn't perfect (I'm a program manager, not a video editor!) but it works. ... Additionally, I extracted the audio from each of these files and put an audio collection up on the Internet Archive, for people like me who just want to listen to them." The videos are collected into a Youtube playlist.

    Seven hours all at once? I agree with Al Billings and he did good by breaking it into sections. That way I can watch it over time or skip parts I don't want to watch.

      This story's been here a while, and mine's the fifth comment.
      I'm pretty sure people are watching the seven hours before posting.

    How would TrustyCon create a "Three Laws Safe" framework?

    Great videos. Shame this didn't get more attention.
