When will the conference sessions be available online to be "viewed"?  Will they be downloadable?

We have been encoding the sessions live as they've been recorded, so they're ready to upload. The only thing is the amount of data for the whole conference is pretty huge, so we can't upload them from the conference itself. We'll start uploading later this week, and the first sessions should be available in a few days.

Some of the sessions will require some post production work, and we'll be doing that as fast as we can. We'll try to do those in order of popularity, so if there are any sessions you're particularly interested in, let us know by replying here.

The sessions are streamable, but not downloadable to watch offline. This is because our player requires the player file, images, some XML files, and of course the two source videos. We will have DVDs made that we will sell for people who want to watch the content offline. Those DVDs will cost $450 for non-attendees, and $50 for attendees.

Finally, we have videos of several hundred sessions from previous briforums available only today at www.briforum.com/videos .

Thanks for all of that information Brian.  Also, I just wanted to say that this is my first BriForum and it is excellent.  I have been in the Citrix arena since 1999 and rely on your web site for a lot of things.  Please don't ever let it go away!!!  Also, if I pre ordered the DVDs, is there any idea as to when these might be sent out?  Thanks again.

Brian,

Are we going to be able to download the powerpoint slides?

I, too, would like to see the powerpoint slides. I haven't been taking the best notes.

Brian,

Thanks for making the online content available at all! It's worth MORE than the price of admission. Since I can attend MORE sessions, it's like having two of me!

If you could, I'd love to see these videos online first. Of all the content that I know will be on the DVDs and can wait for, these are most interesting to me. If they could be online sooner than later, that would really help me out.

Performance monitoring 101
The excruciating detail of the XenApp logon process
my Application Won't work
Multithreaded logons (5-7 sec logons)

Thanks in advance!

Brian,

This was a great technical conference.  I found it very worthwile. It is wonderful that your team goes through the work that they do to caputre and make the video available.  I  can't wait to review some of the sessions that I had to miss because I had to make a choice.  If the presenters could get the powerpoints online soon, that would help me to begin to use some of the suggestions for online tools, reg settings etc, while they are still fresh in the mind.  I couldn't get them captured fast enough during the demos.  Thanks again

This was my first BriForum as well and I can happily say I plan to attend again. It was by far the most enjoyable and refreshing conference I've been a part of. I've been a lurker on your site for a good while and have always enjoyed your articles. I can't thank you and your team enough for putting it together!

Thanks again!

Brian,

This was my first BrioForum and I am very glad that I made the right decision to come. Presenters and contents were very well prepared. I am now waiting for the DVD to be sent so that I can see those which I missed....Thanks Brian for organising this wonderful conference.I am sure I will be attending it again next year either in Europe/USA.

As far as facilities are concerened, I have seen no one really commented on it.

Breakfast was good BUT Lunch was only good for those who eat meat. I am a Muslim and wanted HALAL food but obviously it was not available. I was promised that I will get a lot of vegitarian choice. I am not a pure vegitarian but was willing to find something from vegitarian section. Apart from Salad, I struggled to find anything else. My suggestion of improvements are;

1. Separate selection for Vegitarian

2. Availability of HALAL Food

Feel free to add, if anyone agree what I am saying....hopefully Brian and his team will address these concerns.
