Hmmm, if you can HEAR the speaker and SEE the slides (as in YVR), seems like that should be sufficient. There's usually a photo of the speaker on their bio page if you need more "presence". -dave On Mon, Dec 3, 2018 at 2:05 PM Jimmy McArthur <jimmy@openstack.org> wrote:

Appreciate the feedback :)

Jimmy McArthur <jimmy@openstack.org> December 3, 2018 at 2:46 PM In Berlin, in rooms where we had a full view of the screen, we didn't do a second screen for slides only. As mentioned, presenters can upload their slides to help with that.

For places like the Marketplace demo theater where we had a smaller screen format, we added the view of both presenter and slide: https://www.openstack.org/videos/berlin-2018/how-to-avoid-vendor-lock-in-in-...

So uh, I don't really want to be that guy, but I'm sure others have noticed the deal with the slides being different in the recordings from years past, in that you can't view them (hopefully people are uploading their slides). I'm mostly curious if there was a reason for that? Budget cuts? Technical issues?

Jimmy McArthur <jimmy@openstack.org> December 3, 2018 at 12:22 PM Thank you again for a wonderful Summit in Berlin.

Quick question, how do we upload the slides for our presentation?

Hmmm, if you can HEAR the speaker and SEE the slides (as in YVR), seems like that should be sufficient.

There's usually a photo of the speaker on their bio page if you need more "presence".

And it's night and day. one factor in that may be that the videos are uploaded in 720p@50 rather then 1080p@60 as they had been in vancouver. so far i have been able to view most of videos ok. the room where the project updates were is proably the one with the worst lighting. the room were the lights at the front were dimmed are quite good.

Thanks for the feedback, Melanie. We did send that email out this go round, but I think there were two tracks that were excluded that weren't meant to be. We're expanding the functionality so that you can upload from the CFP/Speaker Profile w/o having to be prompted by us, so stand by for more features :) Cheers, Jimmy

Thanks for mentioning this. I've just sent the slides to speakersupport@, so hopefully they'll be linked soon to the session page.

General feedback regarding slide upload: last summit, we received an email from speakersupport@ letting us know the self-service slide upload system was ready and we were able to upload slides ourselves through openstack.org. I thought that was a nice system, FWIW. This time, I was expecting a similar message process for uploading slides and didn't realize we could have added slides already by now.

Cheers, -melanie
