Hi,

This is my first post to the mailinglists, I've been reading everything most of what
Jim Gettys has been writing and trying to wrap my head around the problem.

Maybe this is a silly idea, but I think it would really illustrate to those 'in the know'
if we change the frontpage of the bufferbloat-site.

My idea wass to put the before and after SmokePing graphics from the presentation (PDF-page 62
and 63) on the frontpage.

Hopefully with a short & sweet explanation and a way to encourages people also to look y-axis,
the labels and packetloss.

Maybe that will drive home that their is a problem.

Hope this is helpful.

Have a nice day,
	Leen.

[Bloat] Improving the murray hill's presentation

I took a pass at improving the audio to jg's speech at Murray Hill.

With your choice of slides

http://mirrors.bufferbloat.net/Talks/BellLabs01192011/

The audio and slides *in combination* are pretty effective, however:

1) most people download either the slides or the audio, not both.

2) The edit has the net effect of increasing jg's delivery to ~750
millalampsons. It was my ultimate intent to cut this apart and time it
to the slides, rather than add more natural pauses, but...

3) I've tried this out on a few technical, but not seriously technical,
people and their takeaway was not what I wanted. By the time they get to
the end their brain buffers had overflowed.

I'd to circle back to a simple, pragmatic summary of "this is the
problem, this is where it is, this is what you can do to fix it",

and close with that, in the hope that the core points are retained.

4) I have to admit I edit audio (ardour and protools) a lot, but not
presentations, and in order to fit this on youtube or the like, there's
a choice between increasing the number of slides or finding a means to
screencast it as is.

Ideas? Tools?

QA and suggestions on what's up already gladly welcomed.
