    Hi. It would be great if the conference could be recorded and made available for download for all the people that can’t go, like me.
    Thank you very much.

  2. A L Cawood says:

    To have the conference sessions recorded would be brilliant.
    Thanks to you all.

  3. lee in butte says:

    Could someone post an address and map of the venue? Thanks!

  4. mjr says:

    Address is Bristo Square, The University of Edinburgh EH8 9AJ; map is http://osm.org/go/evfLiytX?layers=C

    The conference sessions are mostly recorded, but there have been a few gaps due to camera crashes and other nonsense. I’ll upload them after the event and announce them on this website.
