Yeah I'd love to go to this, bit I can't easily justify flying down and staying over for just the one day event.

I'd give massive props to Sumea if they can get full coverage of this event!

Scott.

I'm seeing if I can organise this. It depends on sponsorship funds, and I'll have to see if Film Victoria minds us filming there.

I've just encoded two more sessions from the Framework 09 (roughly 2 gigs of files to upload - this is going to take ages), and have plenty more to go, and I still have all the stuff from Free Play 2009 to do. If we do get to capture the stuff at the Digital Distribution Summit, it'll be a while before you'll see it on our youtube channel.

Hey Folks,

We're recording the entire thing so we're able to share the content with sites like Sumea. Look for this to be available a couple of weeks after the event.

You can also follow the sessions throughout the day at http://twitter.com/ddsummit

Cheers,
Brad - Film Vic

Hey, that's great news! I was about to fire off an email to you for permission to film, and to organise someone to record it on behalf of tsumea. It looks like we don't need to do that now!

From all the twitter comments, it looks like this event was pretty good! Looking forward to seeing the footage :)

Thanks for that, have been waiting eagerly for it. I've posted it up as I'm sure plenty of others would be interested.
