PortableApps.com is at
Not to go off-topic...
But you have a date fail on the front page John.
On topic: good luck over there, and have a pleasant trip.
You know what, I've been thinking. When life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade. Make life TAKE THE LEMONS BACK! Get mad!! I don't want your lemons; what am I supposed to do with THESE!?
Slides? How about video?
Forget the slides, I want the video.
Me too
As do I. I hope someone takes a video of it, as I won't be able to watch it live.
They're pretty good at putting up video
Check this link to their OSCON channel:

I made this half-pony, half-monkey monster to please you.
Where is PortableApps?
Thanks for the link, but what is the name of the video with John talking at Oscon? I can only download so much videos, so I just wanted to know what video he is. I thought that link was linking directly to the video of PortableApps. I did get the one that Jono Bacon did, so thanks for the link anyway!

That was just a general link to videos
And I'm not 100% certain they'll post a video of John, but that's where I'd look for one.

No video... slides?
I've been watching the OSCON site, and I see that quite a lot of presenters have posted their slides online.
Were you going to post your slides there, or is there another place that you are going to make them available?
Thanks

Slides>??
Would be good to see them, video's not so important for me (unless, of course, you've got the really good sort of slides with minimal text, so you need to have the audio to make head or tail of the slides)
YouTube
I found this...

...but nothing with John T. Haller or PortableApps or "Open Source Portable Apps". Weak.
And the real advantage of video, over slides or an interview transcript, is being able to see and hear the person speak. How they speak, the emotion they put into their words, how they carry themselves. It tells more than slides and transcripts can. It's kind of hard to explain, but there is more there. The other day, I saw an interview with American horror/suspense author Dean Koontz on Facebook, answering questions posted to Barnes & Noble's Facebook fan page. I've read over 30 of this guy's books over the past 17 years, but I've never heard him speak, so that was interesting. It's also why it's so easy to blast the iPhone for whatever reason, but to see Steve Jobs unveil one and talk about it, it's exciting because he's the device's biggest fan, and he knows what he's talking about. (As opposed to watching Peter Molyneux... Microsoft's Kinect is neat, but I'm still waiting on Natal...)
PortableApps would make a great TED talk
http://www.ted.com/
but who would present it?

Not this year
I was going to apply, but they stopped accepting applications. Dang it.
Video camera?
All this would depend if anyone was actually taping in in the first place.
Tru dat
in regards to the video - but the slides definitely exist, they just haven't been posted.

Bump
Any progress on slides?
