[VOIPSEC] FYI - Two VoIP security presentations from ETel now available with sync'd audio and slides (as part of "slidecasting")

VOIPSEC members,

Whenever I've posted a Blue Box podcast with audio from a conference 
presentation, I've usually been asked for slides (if I didn't provide 
them).  Next I'm usually asked if there is any way to know when the slides 
are switching... there hasn't really been a great answer to me (other than 
to merge the audio and slides into a screencast using something like 
Camtasia Studio) until SlideShare.net just rolled out a "slidecasting" 
interface that allows you to take an existing MP3 file and sync it with a 
set of slides (hosted at SlideShare).

You can now see this in action with the two presentations that we did out 
at O'Reilly's Emerging Telephony conference earlier this year:

  http://www.blueboxpodcast.com/2007/07/etel-black-bag-.html

I'm particularly pleased with the way the first one (my "story" about 
"SysAdmin Steve") came out as it was 243 slides in a bit less than 15 
minutes and really needed to have the sync to show how the slides fit with 
the audio.  The other 90-minute workshop that Jonathan, Shawn and I did 
may be of interest to folks wanting a basic intro to VoIP security.

If any of you present at conferences and want to check out this service, 
you can read more about it on my non-telephony blog at 
http://www.disruptiveconversations.com/2007/07/slidecasting---.html  You 
just need a place to host the MP3 file and then need to upload the slides 
to SlideShare. ( http://www.slideshare.net/ )  The SlideShare site itself 
has all the typical tagging, grouping, searching, etc. that we have come 
to expect from Web 2.0 social networking sites.

Enjoy,
Dan

P.S. On the subject of recordings, I'll mention again that Jonathan and I 
are always open to running recordings of VoIP-security-related 
presentations through our Blue Box podcast feed as Special Editions.  If 
you've recorded a presentation you've done (or are planning to record one 
you are going to do), we're glad to put it out through our channel, 
provided, of course, that: a) you are sure the conference allows it; b) 
it's vendor-neutral (i.e. it's not just a presentation pitching a vendor's 
products); and c) it's not a duplicate of a special edition we've recently 
done.  Anyway, contact us if you are interested and we can tell you more.
