I had a fun chat with Anthony Bryan a while ago on the topic of how to get involved with Open Source. What projects generally need, what you can do, how you can help and things like that.
The recording/podcast was originally posted over at knowledgecaps.com, but the 22MB file is also available from my site. I’m not sure why, but when I play this in my audacious I get the chipmunk version (ie far too fast playback). So I haven’t yet listened to it myself!
Remember how I mentioned back in August thatI held a libssh2 talk at Slackathon? The other day I recalled that I never saw that video recording so I tracked it down and found it. So while you’re waiting to see the video of my libssh2 or Rockbox talks I did today at FSCONS, you can enjoy a slightly shorter version:
I’m scheduled to do a talk about libssh2 on the Slackathon 2009 meeting at Stockholm University, August 15th 2009. The talk will be held in English. See you!
My guess is that if you’re interested and involved enough to read this here on my blog, you already know just about everything I can fill my short talk with…!
I held a 38 minute talk (in English) at the FSCONS conference 2007 about curl and libcurl, and now I’ve realized that the recording from that event is available online in various forms and ways.
You can get the pure Ogg Theora video files by using these links:
154MB video download via bittorrent or http 640 x 512 resolution
46MB video download via bittorrent or http 400 x 320 resolution
The slides from the presentation are still available.
I haven’t yet had time and oppurtunity to watch it myself. I figure I’ll do that soon to see and learn from my own mistakes and odd habits when talking in public… and try to not get disturbed too much by my own accent!
I will be there doing talk about security in open source projects, in particular then how we work with security in the curl project. If you think of anything particular you would like me to address or include, feel free to give be a clue already before the event!
I had already talked to the guys about going to FSCONS 2008 and do a talk about Rockbox and reverse engineering when I realized that the very same weekend we’re going to Rome, Italy with my company and if that isn’t enough, the Google summer of code mentor summit is also taking place that weekend in late October so if Italy somehow got canceled I would probably rather go to California… I quite enjoyed FSCONS last year so I’m a bit annoyed about this situation.
Isn’t that just the irony of life? Here I have an entire autumn with nothing much planned and then all of a sudden three events all take place on the same weekend.
I’m still on for another talk in September in Stockholm though but since I haven’t seen any public details about it I’ll refrain from being specific just yet.
