Higher-res versions would be very nice, but would have been much harder to get done and uploaded as quickly. :) Maybe next year, when we've got more of the new video upload support in place! I would definitely encourage everybody to upload slides and link them with the video versions; PDF slides can be uploaded directly to Commons and can now be viewed inline as well as downloading them. > 3.

Moderators/assistants from the local team were usually pretty good about getting the microphones around or else reminding the speaker to repeat questions, but of course this gets forgotten sometimes. -- brion _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list foundation-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
