the elisa multimedia center team members should also be there... if it is possible, make an interview with them concerning the new features and the planned default installation in ubuntu :)

It would be good if the titles had what projects these guys work on.

Would be cool if my computer didn't completely lock up after 3 seconds of video from that site. :(

The videos are a bit to boring for me.

Yeah nerdy boring brown videos. :icon_frown: These remind me of how Microsoft present their videos for evangelism and MSDN developer events. Everyone is interviewed as if what their working on is earth shatteringly important. Taking themselves way too seriously. I get the feeling most of these guys would rather eat light bulbs than be interviewed on video. Who is this video channel aimed at?

I'd like to see a much snappier, fun and fast paced presentation. It would be better if we saw the presenter, and he guided us through the workshops and work of the conference, and explained it's relevance. It'd be better to see the developers working together in a real life problem solving senerio, instead of talking abstractly about their work. Just because Microsoft does boring developer videos doesn't mean that's the only way to do them.

I don't expect developers to have been cross-trained in public address, so I tend to forgive the numerous "hmm..." "haaa..." "err..." and giggles, private jokes, nose-picking and other belly scratching.

Now, I agree that the spirit and roadmap of Ibex could have been summed up in a more concise, down-to-the point video document, to serve as a teaser for end-users like me. Broadcasting in Flash would be a good idea.
