Fantastic--I've been looking for the videos for the past few days. Looking forward to checking out the tutorials and talks on data analysis tools like pandas, scikit-learn, matplotlib, etc.

  I was in the Data analysis with Pandas talk and it was scary cool. Everybody in the sci-py community seems to be using the IPython web notebook to do their presentations and Wes had us work through examples in our own notebooks. I still have the tab open :)

Will PG's keynote be posted?

  Most of the videos posted so far are from the tutorials on Wed-Thu, so I imagine the rest will be up soon. The AV crew is kicking serious butt to get them up so quickly.

    > The AV crew is kicking serious butt to get them up so quickly. I hope the videos make it to blip.tv. I like being able to watch them offline at the gym and YouTube is not podcatcher-friendly. If the AV crew needs help (and is reading this) I can set up a feed at the portal I work for (and ask for forgiveness later).

        I know... But an iTunes-friendly tool would be seriously useful. And from a quick look around, most attendees can run it without much hassle (sadly, I don't, but I have a Mac for that use case)

This is insanely awesome. Thank you guys. A bit surprised the tutorials are all up and available for free...
- rbanffy 15y ago
  The presentations are a relatively small part of the "PyCon experience". This is seriously awesome.

  > A bit surprised the tutorials are all up and available for free... That was on a presenter-by-presenter basis. Some of the tutorial presenters were just sharing the info and don't mind it going out. We usually get several presenters who do training courses for a living where it wouldn't make sense to give away their next training materials, and I believe some opted out of the recording.

Well, so much for getting any sleep tonight. Seriously, thanks for posting this.

Wonderful to see them up. However it seems not all of them are there (full list here: https://us.pycon.org/2012/schedule/ https://us.pycon.org/2012/schedule/ ). I hope 'The real-time web with co-routines' tutorial gets uploaded, along with any slides. I heard that some speakers opted out of getting recorded, if someone here happens to know, was that one of the tutorials that wasn't recorded?
- briancurtin 15y ago
  Having interacted with that tutorial's presenter a bunch during preparations for this conference (i.e., I know him but I don't know him), I don't see him opting out of the recording. I'm guessing it's just that it takes time to get these videos converted, edited, and uploaded. The fact that any videos are up at this point is astonishing. Carl Karsten and crew are constantly working throughout the day to get this stuff all sorted out and available to the world.

  There is also this video from last year, Zed Shaw talking about real-time with ZeroMQ, and why coroutines suck ;) http://pyvideo.org/video/442/pycon-2011--advanced-network-architectures-with-z http://pyvideo.org/video/442/pycon-2011--advanced-network-ar...

Thanks to the AV guys at Pycon. Really awesome to see these up so soon, and for me a small consolation for not making it this year to Pycon.

I'd like to ask you guys what's the biggest value in Pycon,Djangocon,Rubycon and other tech conferences in your opinion and how to make the most out of it? Obviously,it's not that much the talks,as you can watch them online and regardless that it feels better live,the value is quite similar.

  For me it's connecting and conversing with abundance of smart like minded people. There's ton of time to strike up a conversation and quite a social life in the evenings. Also Starcraft II tournaments, so cash.
