Recordings... how to?

Hey vmworld folks -- i hope you enjoyed because I know I did!

I'm looking for a solution to live record sessions at my own company's small conference using 1 lav microphone and the powerpoint slides with some live video mixed in between.

Havn't found an inexpensive way to do it. I kept forgetting to as the vmworld guys who were in every session, but I was too happy about actually getting into a session!

Thanks!

large or small hosts

2010-09-03T19:09:15Z

I have been asked an interesting question; is it better to have few larger esx hosts or more smaller hosts??? i.e. hypothetically, would 3 hosts carrying 4 quad cores and 256 GB Ram be better or worse than 6 hosts with 2 quad cores and 128 GB?

Any thought would be appreciated.

Session posts

2010-09-04T20:48:11Z

Anyone know when/where they'll post the session posts

Where do we get slides from the sessions?

2010-09-01T04:02:11Z

I keep hearing mention of slides and etc being available ... any idea where they're located?

VMworld 2010 - Overall Impression

2010-09-03T04:24:22Z

Let me start by saying that VMworld 2010 was my third time attending the conference - I attended the 2007 and 2009 conferences, obviously both were in San Francisco. I am yet to walk away feeling disappointed from any of these conferences, this year included. I must admit that I was a little worried about how the breakout sessions would go this year considering no pre-registration - while I did miss a couple of sessions because they were full by the time I got to the class (in some cases 30 minutes early), I will say that I still had a worthwhile conference. Obviously, we will all have access to all the presentations soon, but there is a certain degree of value in just 'being there' at a particular session. I do wish that VMware brings back pre-registration, but I won't let this stop me from attending a future conference if it doesn't happen.

I thought the lab setup was slick - while crowded at times, you have to admit that the lab staff did an amazing thing in terms of labs completed, VMs created, etc. That was impressive...

If I have a complaint, it would be this - the Solutions Exchange Welcome Reception was nearly impossible to navigate through on Monday night. Obviously with 17,000+ attendees, this was bound to happen. I didn't get a lot of value out of the reception Monday night, I ended up meeting a friend and we essentially hung out on the sidelines of the reception because it was just too packed. Not really sure how that can be addressed in the future..

The party - I had a blast - I really enjoyed that it was back at the Moscone Center again, makes it easy when you can walk back to your hotel and not have to hop a bus with 17,000 other people trying to get back to their hotels. I'm probably a little biased regarding the band because I love INXS - also really enjoyed Foreigner last year.

I was only able to take advantage of the hot meals one day this year, but I really appreciate their availability this year - I've never been a fan of the sandwich/side/apple/desert combo plate we were offered in years past so having fried chicken and biscuits (on Wednesday) was a welcome change.

So VMware, thank you for another conference - hopefully see you in Vegas in 2011!

Who is ready for Vegas?

Anyone know if it will be the same location as pasy VMWorld's?
