When I gave a Revealing Errors talk at Lug Radio Live USA, I had the misfortune of being up against Robert Love’s talk on Android which many people at the conference wanted to see — myself included! One person who showed up to my talk anyway was Allison Randall. She was apparently entertained enough to invite me to give a short version of the talk as one of the keynote presentations at OSCON 2008!
In the talk, I covered the ideas behind my Revealing Errors project and quickly walked through a few examples that showcase what I’m trying to do. I’m happy with the result: a couple thousand people showed up for the talk despite the fact that it was at 8:45 AM after the biggest "party night" of the conference!
For those that missed it for whatever reason, you can watch a video recording that O’Reilly made and that I’ve embedded below.
A larger version of the Flash video as well as a QuickTime version is over on blip.tv and I’ve created an OGG Theora version for all my freedom loving readers.
Great presentation. Is the long version available anywhere?
The long version is similar but with lots more examples and a little bit more time spent on background and such. The recording made didn’t really come out, unfortunately, but I might take some time to make a recording and post it online soon.
Hi Mako,
thanks for the ogg which my xo consumed without any nasty aftertaste!
ps. Jimmy Kaplowitz said “Can I haz a Debconf10?” I hope so!
