- For upcoming videos yes, we'll be able to share them and get questions before, as well as get suggestions on future videos. As you can imagine, there will be times when we can't disclose upcoming videos (ex: a new technology or product).
- No worries on Charles, he's still on the Channel 9 team Smiley He was actually going to drop by when we filmed yesterday but he was out of the office sick

No download links?

Sounds like great things. Yes discoverability has become an issue, especially PDC videos etc.

I personally would like to see more screen casts Especially with new areas, both in the realm of Dev but also in usability in areas such as Office and other programs.

It is good to hear that the different sites are coming under one platform. But in that light, PDC imo should get the treatment of Mix as a conference type site that bubbles into Channel 9. Perhaps even getting screen casts and feature reviews specific to the conference and as the stuff productizes more into the mainstream.

Can also ask for More WPF content: Smiley especially moving into a MVVM with MEF point of view. perhaps a series of screen casts in architeching and implementing such an ap.

Agree with the point of missing the Scoble/Rory type of interviews. although the Going Deep interviews are the most interesting for me. Well those and the Tina history of MS have been simply amazing from a nostalgia point of view.

And yes I did watch the entire video, shame on those that don't:) Shout out to Duncan. He needs to be in more videos:)

Hey Duncan,

It's true I probably wouldn't have watch 59m of the video, but I skipped straight to you to hear about SQL tuning and you totally let me down!

Weak sauce.

We wanted to put the video up as soon as possible but the video is large in terms of size (1 hour+ length) so some of the download videos aren't up yet. If you wait a few hours, all of them should finish FTP'ing up and the links will auto-magically upload.

Cheers,

A few tips on the dev end...

AZURE! It should help your scalability and distribution issues.
If you don't use Azure, perhaps a CDN??
Cache videos... perhaps that could help some bandwidth costs. YouTube has recently added this feature

Screw cloud computing. C9 can do it without it, many sites do. If youtube can do it c9 can.

The site has improved so much since 5 months ago. Using Firefox or Chrome used to make the site pretty snappy. Since then IE also feels snappy. No more hangs on javascript!

Channel9 is a great resource. It has been since the beginning. It does not feel the same as the earlier years with Robert Scoble. Something is just not the same. Those times felt more exciting. The videos were more interesting from all aspects (end user, developer...). Channel9 should try to get back to that spark. I firmly believe it is not just because Channel9 was new, something was different.

Oh and the community seems stagnant. Not sure why I get this impression. Keep trucking.
