I don’t think the videos are there to spawn any discussions, or god forbid, flame wars. But rather only for archiving purposes. If there are typos, it’s best to contact author directly. And if you want to start interesting discussion, you can always do it here :slight_smile:

And btw. I loved the GUI talk from Boyd Multeter :smile:

Was that the message you got from my comment? That wasn’t my intention.

If there are typos, it’s best to contact author directly.

I think it’s very important for newcomers that in introductory talks like the ecto one there are working examples. It is much easier for everyone to type something from a slide, see an error, and then see why the error is there from a comment below the video than go and look at the updated version of the slides somewhere else. I will write to the author of this talk, though. Good suggestion, thank you.

As for starting an interesting discussion about the twitch video, I don’t think there is any discussion to be had. I see very little benefit in using ffmpeg like they did in the video with elixir.

Could you contact the speaker to let them know? If they agree it’s worth mentioning they could get it added to the description :slight_smile:

I did not try to imply that You want to start a flame war. It was rather general comment about youtube comments, because they are one of worst possible places to start discussion about any topic, the other one being /b/ - Random - 4chan :wink:

I didn’t watch twitch one, but again it was rather general comment, that this forums are the possibly the best place to start discussion and get constructive responses :slight_smile:

And when it comes to the typos, if there are many, speaker in collaboration with uploader can probably superimpose annotation in youtube video where there are typos, but they have to know about them. And the best way is to inform either speaker or uploader of given video.

I haven’t watched all of the talks all the way through yet but have looked at them all and from what I saw, thought you all did a fantastic job :023:

It was also great to see such a diverse range of speakers (including in the lightning talks!)

Might be nice for the forum to post a talk per day to spark group viewing and discussion @AstonJ

Go for it Barry :003:

If it takes off we can do it every year :023:

If you’ve seen the talk you are posting up as well, do you reckon it might be cool to include some highlights as @mischov did above? I would also keep 'ElixirConf 2017 Talk - ’ in the title for each talk as well - so that those getting notified by tweets or email know what to expect :slight_smile:

Edit: I’ve also made the first post in this thread a wiki - so please feel free to add the link to the discussion thread next to the name of the talk.

Hi all, I’ve added numbers to the start of the daily threads and also added the elixirconf2017 tag so that they can be watched in order and be found easily in the future :003:
