Podcasts and more coming online

Now we’ve all had a lit­tle time to recover after the whirl­wind of the con­fer­ence (one day I hope to be able to just relax and enjoy it) we are putting together the resources that emerged from all the mar­vel­lous speaker’s sessions.

The first two of our pod­casts, recorded and edited by Scott Bryant and Dan Boud, with some great pre pro­duc­tion work by Andrew Krespanis, are online now. Sign up to the pod­cast RSS feed to keep track of these. BTW, we aren’t being cyn­i­cal by releas­ing them a few at a time — post pro­duc­tion takes time, and we know you sim­ply can’t lis­ten to nearly 20 hours of audio all at once! So as they become avail­able, we’ll get them online.

We are also get­ting all the pre­sen­ta­tions tran­scribed — this will take a lit­tle time, and we have, and will have more of, the slides from pre­sen­ters, along with Andrew K’s live blog­ging notes — all in all a great set of resources — many many thanks to our pre­sen­ters for this.

For some of the slides, we are using a really inter­est­ing new ser­vice — slideshare. It lets you upload openof­fice or pow­er­point slides (keynote users, export as pow­er­point) and makes them avail­able online. It’s really nice, esp­ce­ically as the ser­vice is new, and for us a big step up from PDFs which we’ve been using for a long time. You can com­ment on the slides too, so get along and start chatting.

For all the resouces, head over to the site, refresh your mem­ory if you were there, or see what you missed out on if you weren’t (and get a sense of what Web Directions North in Vancouver, Canada, in February 2007 will be like.)

   Thanks John! Missed the con­fer­ence this year I’m afraid (too close to the expected arrival date of our new daugh­ter) so I’ve been hang­ing out for the podcasts.

   Cheers!!!
