Why not record the sessions?2005-09-20 10:34:56 PM off-topic0 I posted this as part of a reply in a different thread, but didn't get much interest. Its something I think would be extemely beneficial to the Borland community, so I'm really curious why this isn't being done (I can think of a number of possible issues) and what others think. Why not record the presentations and make DVD's available to purchase? Maybe charge conferance attendee's a discounted price and make them available online at a higher cost. I'm going to the conferance as the single representative of an 8 man programing team, so I'll have a lot of teaching to do when I get back. It would be great to have recording's of the sessions I was in as well as some of the sessions that I'll have to miss. This is something that could be outsourced. I'm sure there are several video companies in the area that would accept this business and do an outstanding job. I recognize that not all presenters would agree to having their presentations sold, and legitimately so. Maybe the presenter offers the same material in paid presentations in other places and fears this cutting into their other revenues. Still, it would be great for the community to have as many available as possible. Or maybe Borland believes that there would not be enough sales to justify the cost of recording the sessions, or that it would cut into the number of people who actually attend the conferance. |
