Let me second the request for a video pass. I would love instant access to some of the talks. I would actually love to attend a StrangeLoop but so far that hasn't been in the cards.
I would love to hear what you (or anyone else) thinks is a "fair" rate for early access to videos (about 60) from the conference.
I just wanted to say thanks to puredanger to putting this thing on each year. The quality of the talks exceedingly high, but honestly the buzz about St Louis is my favorite part. Its great to see people come in from the coasts (and all over the world) and watch the tweets as people discover restaurants, breweries, and all St Louis has to offer. Its nice, at least for a weekend, to see my city not reduced to "flyover country."
I hope that people take that enthusiasm back to their respective homes and keep it in mind next time St Louis comes up!

Ironically, I'm assuming I'm the one who inherited ben1040's ticket mentioned in the other comment thread. I just wanted to say thanks to puredanger to putting this thing on each year.

Honest question - do you not post the videos immediately afterwards because you think it will cannibalize attendance in the future?
The videos are filmed and released as a partnership between Strange Loop and InfoQ. Strange Loop gets excellent videographers, professional gear (hardware screen capture devices), and on-site editing for early access release for very low cost and virtually no work. InfoQ gets eyeballs to their site. Attendees get draft videos available within days after the conference. Non-attendees get free access to almost all of the content from the conference (at a delay). Minor nits aside, this is from my perspective a win for everyone.
Part of this equation is that InfoQ wants to receive those eyeballs by dribbling out content over many months. This slow release is also a useful marketing tool for the conference (although this is less essential than in the past).
I really wish the Strangeloop talk videos weren't posted in an excruciatingly long timeframe. Last year's conference was in September 2012 but the last of the videos didn't appear until April 2013. 4-6 months is an eternity when you're considering the shelf life of tech conference talk content. As someone who wasn't able to attend this year because I changed jobs a month before the meeting and had to give my ticket b…
A video pass is certainly something we have talked about. The method of screencapping and doing early release is kind of "beta" but seems to have worked quite well.
