Обсуждение: PGConf NYC 2023 Talks Wiki page
I have created the wiki page for PGConf NYC 2023 [1], and have linked one presentation/slides that I found a link to.
The slides were about 3.8 MB, and wiki wouldn't let me upload anything larger than 2MB, so I had to settle for the link. I think it's necessary to upload these files to the Postgres wiki, because the off-site links are prone to bit rot; e.g. the PG Conf NYC 2014 wiki page [2] contains links some of which seem to be dead.
I would really appreciate it if some attendees, or organizers can link or upload more talks to this wiki page.
Best regards,
Gurjeet

Slides from presenters who agree to share their slides have already been uploaded to the conference website and are linked to from the respective talk on the schedule. Talks where the slides are available are marked with "Slides available" on the schedule page, and on the talk page will be a SLIDES section where they can be downloaded. -- Daniel Gustafsson

That wasn't readily apparent when I was looking at the first Keynote's description page. I tried using the 'Leave feedback' to suggest linking the slides, but I was not allowed to submit feedback because I was not registered for that event. If you don't mind, can you please update the keynote's description to attach or link slides linked on the wiki page. Or please point me towards the right person who may be able to do this.

The speaker in question chose not to share the slides with the conference organizers, so there is nothing we can (or should) do in this case. -- Daniel Gustafsson

IMO this system is not great, because it's not possible to find slides for talks regardless of what conference they were presented in. The wiki at least gives a central place to search for. I've spent a lot of time tagging pages in the wiki to make these easy to search for, but it seems that at some point everybody else just gave up on that and stopped uploading even links to the wiki. I'm glad that Gurjeet decided to create a page for this conference. Talk slides and videos are a *huge* advocacy and teaching resource, and we're wasting it. -- Álvaro Herrera 48°01'N 7°57'E — https://www.EnterpriseDB.com/

Sure, but each individual conference can't be expected to do more to solve that than offer the speakers to host slides if they wish to share them. > Talk slides and videos are a *huge* advocacy and teaching resource, and > we're wasting it. Considering the amount of effort and energy the community spends on arranging conferences where said teaching can take place I think "wasting" is a strong word. However, I don't disagree that it would be good if we had a larger collection which spans multiple events, but I don't think the wiki solves that problem. Personally I'd prefer if they were linked to under a more prominent source, like https://www.postgresql.org/docs/online-resources/ or an equivalent. -- Daniel Gustafsson

Point taken. However, it's precisely of the amount of effort and energy spent on conferences that makes me say that these slides and videos are tremendously valuable, and we'd make an even bigger impact by promoting them better than we do. > However, I don't disagree that it would be good if we had a larger > collection which spans multiple events, but I don't think the wiki solves that > problem.

A page in the main website would be a great resource. -- Álvaro Herrera Breisgau, Deutschland — https://www.EnterpriseDB.com/ "Debido a que la velocidad de la luz es mucho mayor que la del sonido, algunas personas nos parecen brillantes un minuto antes de escuchar las pelotudeces que dicen."
