Aaron Patterson ✅I don't mind posting slides online, but I feel like slides without the context of the talk doesn't have as much value. If slides were all you need, why give the talk?
Mx. Aria Stewart@tenderlove Yup. I always posted mine with notes which amounted to transcript. Ideally, I'd even have footnotes in there.
Jamie Lawrence@tenderlove for your talks, the value is definitely in the delivery 🤣
Generally I think the slides are only useful for those who saw the talk and need to reference something
Anders Eknert@tenderlove for a talk I’ve seen, in person or online, I appreciate the slides being made available for me to get any links and references in them, as there’s no way I’m typing URLs during a talk. But that’s the only thing that comes to minds
Kevin Murphy@tenderlove I once worked at a big company where I was told execs needed to read your slides (printed out of course) and learn everything they needed, so they didn't need to go to the presentation.
I asked what the point of the presentation/meeting was, and no one had an answer. I structure my slides now so there's a reason people are there.
I publish my slides because it seems like a norm. Maybe people like it to refer back to something specific, but it's not a replacement.
Rob@tenderlove I was having a discussion about this at #railsconf. I’m sorry, but I do not remember with who… last week was a blur. They mentioned it as an accessibility issue. For me, I’d rather make my slides props and publish videos and transcripts for accessibility. I’m an extemporaneous speaker and I feel like my talks would be much worse if I changed the slides to be more descriptive.
@orangewolf I think publishing the slides along side the video is great. Just the slides in isolation doesn't make sense IMO
@tenderlove exactly. If I did apeaker notes maybe but with out them I feels like false advertising and just clogs up the searches
pǝǝʌɐɾ s@orangewolf @tenderlove this! I go to a tenderlove talk for the tender love that comes with the slides. You keep your nasty slideses precious! Okay fine I’ll take the slides but really I want the presentation!
amoeba@tenderlove I don't think slides by themselves are great but, as a person who cannot go to even 0.001% of the talks I'd like to go to, slides are the only way I have to form a guess as to whether there's some content there I'd to dig deeper into. In that sense, slides with links are excellent.
Sami Samhuri@tenderlove So true. Landing on slideshare in search results is usually frustrating and unhelpful.
Mike McQuaid@tenderlove Slides are all I need which is why I prefer children's playparks to tech conferences.
