After a few attempts to make my screencast look nice under Google Video, I decided I would just upload the original ones (.mov and .m4v files) and a PDF export of my presentation.

So everything is available here: http://ziade.org/oscon

Slides: http://ziade.org/oscon/oscon.pdf

• Screencast #1, playing with distutils: http://ziade.org/oscon/demo1.m4v
• Screencast #2, playing with setuptools: http://ziade.org/oscon/demo2.m4v
• Screencast #3, playing with zc.buildout: http://ziade.org/oscon/demo3.mov
• Screencast #4, creating a recipe: http://ziade.org/oscon/demo4.mov
• Screencast #5, creating a plone buildout and adding a develop package in it: http://ziade.org/oscon/demo5.mov
• Screencast #6, collective.buildbot demo (no coding, just showing buildbot.ingeniweb.com): http://ziade.org/oscon/demo6.mov

The .mov files are streamed automatically in your browser I believe, not the m4v ones.

Thanks to Jim Fulton for the quick feedback.

I am leaving tomorrow, heading to Portland, OR, to OSCON. My talk on zc.buildout and Plone will be thurdsay the 24th, and I’ll be there the whole week.

If you are going there and want to meet leave me a note, I am looking forward to meet other geeks there.

We made the shirts at home for PyCon FR and that was a LOT of fun, even if we had to work hard to make sure all shirt were ready by the time the event started. We used a silk-screen technique and the output looks really professional. The ink used makes the shirt design last longer than shirts that uses transfer. Although the number of colors is limited.

Guess what: some people ordered us some t-shirts for some other events, so some more fun ahead !
