Social Media Production: LISA ’09
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.

Videoblogging Tips: Getting Good Sound at a Conference
This week I trained four of my Sun colleagues in videoblogging. It was very hands-on training, with the intent that they actually produce a finished video by the end of the two-day course.
We started with setting up the cameras and mics right away, and I had them practice following an active speaker (me, imitating Jeff Bonwick’s pacing). I wasn’t really thinking about the fact that they were filming me, so I was completely unself-conscious. Which was good in some ways, not so good in others. But some of the material may be useful for videobloggers in general, so I’m editing and posting it in spite of what seems to be inordinate emphasis on my chest.

Videoblogging for Sun: Numbers Update
Recently realized that a dumb spreadsheet error (mine) was causing a serious undercount in the total views of my videos. My video stats for 2009 now read:
- 100 hours of video shot to date (and more to come before the year ends)
- 35 hours of video edited (mostly by me) and available (some of it only internally)
- ~16 events/locations shot
Total cumulative views on all "my" videos through the end of October is 88,672.
Technologies & topics covered have included ZFS, open storage, community, Java, open source & the law, e-discovery, HPC, Solaris cluster, high availability, virtualization, performance…
