All listeners are invited to log into the Tcl'ers Chat for coordination and for asking questions to the speakers at the conference. There will be people in the conference room who are logged into the chat and can proxy between remote listeners and the speaker.

If you want to watch the slides while listening to the audio, look at the Conference Slides Page.


Show yourself on People Listening to the Eleventh Annual Tcl/Tk Conference

PT - You can use this Polling web images with Tk to view the image feed in a Tk window.


sheila, 10 Oct 2004: Will audio files be archived?

rmax: Yes, we will archive them at several places for redundancy and plan to make them available after the conference. So please don't open a second stream to run your own archive, as the number of slots for listeners on the servers is limited.

ak: Just did a recording of the testloop for 15 minutes as a yard stick. That was 3.75 megs. With 7 hour-days the 3 days come in at a bit less than half a CD (314.67 MB). And even recording through the 1 hour noon-break just brings us to ca. 356 MB. Still manageable.

sheila: thanks guys. Perhaps someone can seed a bit torrent? Once I get home I can start my torrent client and leave it running.

sheila, 18 Oct 1004: Where are the audio files archived? Will they be included on the CD of conference proceedings? How does one purchase a CD?

AMG: 1004? Does someone have a bit of a Y2K problem?


Thanks...
