Linux wireless support education videos
If you have engineers who need to support the 802.11 Linux subsystem you at times see yourself needing to educate each group through some sessions. In hopes of reusing educational sessions I've decided to record my own series and post it on YouTube. I've broken down each logical component of the series into as small atomic pieces so we can add / remove / update the series into a new baked improved playlist. If you wish to contribute to this please feel free to send me your own videos so I can extend the series. The hope is to education engineers as quickly as possible and then refer them to our wireless.kernel.org wiki for more information. The playlist of the 4 videos is available via: http://bit.ly/kYdfpg There will be Q&A Session on May 25, 2011 at 8am PST, you can poke us with questions on IRC: IRC server: irc.freenode.net Channel: #linux-wireless The breakdown of the series covers: * Review of the 802.11 subsystem * Development process review * Daily snapshots / stable release of compat-wireless * Debugging 802.11 drivers * 802.11s review PS. Thanks to Javier for providing his own session on 802.11s support on mac80211 Luis (Log in to post comments)

hacker sucks at video editing, a screencast of some sort will be way better.

I am not sorry for the editing, after all I am a developer not a video editor. You are welcomed to help with your video editing charm.
Video as Free ~Software Project? Posted May 24, 2011 7:50 UTC (Tue) by tialaramex (subscriber, #21167) [Link]
Source code?
Don't rush off and do this just because of an LWN comment, but it occurs to me that just as a coder can pick up someone's github project and fix a bunch of bugs without asking, and artists have markedly improved some Free Software projects just by replacing lots of bad graphics... it's possible that talented folk would volunteer time to edit together other people's tutorials or similarly valuable video material.
The real equivalents of source code here would be a script, and any presentation or other material to be shown visually. Certainly re-recording the voice for some other technical material I've seen on Youtube wouldn't hurt, particularly when it's drowned out by background machine noise. But we can think of the unedited video and audio recordings as intermediate code, still useful to someone who wants to tweak the final result to add polish.

The content seems to be good and interesting. It's a great thought and I'm sure this is a step in the right direction!
I'm not writing this to be mean, I'm writing it sincerely and hope it will be of use to you and/or others in the community.
Like tialaramex has written, it would be great to see something being displayed while listening to your content. In the current iteration - the video frames do nothing. Pseudo-code, logic charts - an image here and there would certainly spice things up one or two notches.
I'd like to point to Xiph's "A Digital Media Primer for Geeks" which has some of these elements - http://xiph.org/video/

On another note, I would love to read about the interesting things you're going through in these videos. They would surely do great in text form! Or atleast accompaning as subtitles for the video or a script by the side.
