While still a work in progress, session videos from Podcamp Toronto 2010 are now available, either as blip.tv links, or as streaming Quicktime, awaiting conversion to blip.tv (underway, but uploading and converting files does take a while).

Thanks to all those session attendees who found themselves pressed into service as camera operators!! You demonstrated the true spirit of Podcamp!

The updated media page (with video links) can be found here.

PodCamp Toronto 2010 Podcast, Episode 2

John Meadows — Sat, 16 Jan 2010 12:51:58 +0000

On today’s episode, two great conversations.

First, I speak with fellow organizing committee member Mike Dodd about the preparations for PodCamp Toronto 2010, and the great vibe people can expect.

Next, I speak with fellow PodCamp Toronto organizing committee members, Connie Crosby and Eden Spodek. Together, they produce the Community Divas podcast.

We talk about the foundational aspect of PodCamp Toronto: all attendees are invited to present. You won’t need to write a proposal. In fact, the soon-to-be-launched speaking schedule will be blank! All you will need to do is find an available time slot and fill in the details about your session.

In the meantime, what would you like to present?
