Jonathan 'Wolf' Rentzch put the videos from his C4 conferences on Viddler. He has posted the videos from C4[1] and C4[2]. I think he used a personal account that has a 500 MB per video upload limit and is for non-commercial use, ad-supported. The videos that from C4 are around an hour long. Just another suggestion. Daniel,

See http://people.csail.mit.edu/jhbrown/macros/. I hope to do a blog entry discussing the topic more seriously, sometime.

One thing I'd like to add about the lightning talks: they were a complete failure at OOPSLA. I went to the first session and no one had signed up to talk. The moderator handled it rather well, by getting a couple people in the audience to speak, then turning it into a group discussion. Later it was announced that no one had signed up for any of the other sessions either, and they were all canceled. I was afraid the same would happen at ILC. But it didn't! In thinking about what was different between the two a couple things crossed my mind: more focused group, etc. bit I think the major difference was having the first block of them pre-scheduled. Everyone got a glimpse, and then rushed to sign up for their own. I was on the verge of signing up myself when it was announced that all the slots were full – even after two extra blocks were opened from the no-shows! So that's my recommendation: have lightning talks, but get a few of them signed up ahead of time to get the ball rolling. Great job, Dan. It certainly was a great conference.
