    Dinner

  • Dinner will not be recorded

    • Post Production Cleanup

    • Copy ppt and asf files to gigavault.
    • Each ASF File needs to be properly truncated at the beginning. I usually used the NetShow ASF Indexer to do this.
    • Sometimes each ASF File needs to have the URL to the initial slide added at the start of the now truncated clip. Again, the NetShow ASD Indexer is used.
    • For each presentation, generate slide GIFS, save as HTML and generate PDFs. Generating PDF requires that Adobe Acrobat be installed
    • Edit the following files:
      mkallasx.sh
      Add each talk to this file
      mkasx.sh
      change the paths from the previous workshop to the current workshop, and update the title.
      lib/footer.htm
      Update the name of the workshop
    • Run make
    • Check the files. If we use Powerpoint 2k to generate the HTML, pay particular attention to the dhtml that is generated and look for bogus output.
