RE: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Convention

Just to clarify this... I'll be happy to tape and edit. The work should
take me about 2 weeks to complete, based on my experience last year (and
hopefully I've learned something since then!) The media will cost about
$100, which PSUBS can consider a donation. However, what I cannot do is
mass produce DVDs, because my burner takes a huge amount of time to do
each one. I remember leaving it working overnight last year. It was so
time-consuming that I couldn't face producing a second set for myself,
and sent Ray the originals.

If anyone has the capacity to make lots of copies, whether on DVD or
VHS, I'm sure Ray would like to hear from you. The "raw material" for
such a copying operation could be either DVDs or DV tapes, in NTSC
format, but I have no VHS equipment. 

I was just afraid that reading the preceding message, folks might get
the impression they could "order" DVDs from me, when I just don't have
the ability to produce them.

It would be *really* nice if last year's talks were available at this
year's convention, after all the work the presenters put into their
talks and the effort Ray put into organizing it.

Thanks,

Alec

Just to confirm what Ray said.  Carsten has already said that he will
not be attending the conference this year.  The conference will not be
webcast and I don't believe we have an Internet connection available
in the conference room.  However, Alec Smyth has offered to tape the
event and create CD's or DVD's for distribution after the fact.  It
will be up to Alec to determine what the cost of the disks will be 
but I'm sure we'll have more info in late August.

This is probably a good reminder however.  We are exactly one month
away from the convention.  There are still some people who have not
submitted payment yet, so please send it in or use PayPal asap so we
can cover expenses.  Also, if you are a presenter, please forward me
your presentation in .doc, .ppt, or .pdf format so people can follow
along in their binders.

Thanks,
Jon
