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.
While we are still working with the good folks at Ryerson to get session video converted posted, in the meantime we do have Slideshare presentation decks, and some audio available here.
This listing is not complete; if you have media (presentations, audio or video) we we love to link to it! Just send an email to jgmeadows {at} gmail.com.
Thanks in advance!
