I’m sitting in a hotel room in Baltimore, listening to a meeting while monitoring the live stream of a presentation at LISA ’09. I’ve been using the video blog, Twitter and irc (#opensolaris) to let people know this is available. Which has resulted in 26 people on the live stream, at the moment.
The technicalities and camera work of the stream are being done by the merry (and very competent) crew at USENIX – Sun sponsored the live video stream and recording, so I’ll be able to use their files afterwards to produce final, edited videos.
The final video is on YouTube.
Brendan Gregg spoke at FROSUG (Front Range OpenSolaris User Group) on Oct 29, 2009, the first of many times I filmed him.

The main reason I did videoblogging training at Sun’s Menlo Park offices a couple of weeks ago (rather than at some other time) was to get my colleague Teresa Giacomini ready to film the OpenSolaris User Group meeting she ran in Dresden this week. Looks as if she handled it just fine!
