My point is that the needed video hosting capability already exists (and even has monetize options). Of *course* it will be expensive to go the "reinvent all needed wheels" route. I don't get it. The thread got complaints that the videos were being produced slowly and inefficiently, yet as soon as someone actually suggested ways to potentially make the process faster and more efficient, practically *everyone* leapt to the defense of those same slow and inefficient methods that they'd previously complained about. I guess abstract kvetching is okay, but concrete suggestions are frightening because they might *actually lead to change* or something. Although that still doesn't explain why someone then had the gall to criticize *me* for not making concrete and constructive suggestions, when that's exactly what I *did* do after *other people* had merely complained without making any suggestions. Of course, I don't really *need* to argue anymore, because someone else helpfully pointed out that an existing conference already does a better job: pycon. That completely disproves the entire class of arguments along the lines of "making *conference proceedings* videos is somehow some sort of a special case and it HAS to be slow and expensive!", of which we've seen several, sadly including some *after* pycon was first mentioned. -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
