I've made it through the jungle of trackers and scripts for this.

I'm happy to see something emerge like this but just wondering how "official" that is in terms of all this google doc and event registrations software used (no offence) :) :?:

Hi, I hope you are well!

Regarding the Google Doc: That google doc was just a means of collecting information of potential speakers earlier this year which I admit was a big mistake and begun using the forum more directly to attract speakers.

Regarding the Event Registration: The use of HopIn allows us to make use of professional virtual conferencing tools to help us present the conference in a manner that is easily accessible for people around the globe.

So even though this isn't 'official' we do intend on making this an annual conference where we can showcase changes to FreeCAD as well as emerging features and workbenches.

Hi all!

This forum message serves to wrap up the inaugural FreeCAD (& free CAE) Users Conference.

Thank you to everyone who made it happen, the speakers, the audience, the sponsors and the various stakeholders grilling me with questions since February last year, you are all appreciated!

All the conference material has been made available by clicking here.

There has been various forums that have been reignited as a result of the presentations and I believe the creators are active on their various forums answering questions.

The roadmap for consolidating post-conference is as follows:
  • I am awaiting admin rights for my own page on the FreeCAD Wiki. There I will upload all the material, including additional material that was presented by the creators. The vision is that we can keep this page active and constantly update after each conference, hence the need for a section on the Wiki and not the forum where things can become cluttered.
  • Work for the next conference is already underway as per @Karolis's closing speech. More announcements will follow in due course on that. In the mean time, we are taking suggestions on the way forward from the community.
As usual, if you have any queries or concerns. Please feel free to pm me here or drop me an email (govender.v@tuks.co.za)

Thank you to everyone once again for supporting us in this.

Regards
Varnu Govender

What am I doing wrong? I started watching the first file, but I'm missing the video. I can hear some music and see subtitles, but behind them I see only this image.

I'm not capable to following the modeling process just from the subtitles.
