Thanks to Karsten for a fantastic docs session - the lecturers (POSSE is
a weeklong bootcamp immersing professors in open source contribution so
they can get their classes involved) were impressed by not just the
quality of docs, and the processes and tools we use, but also by the
neat spontaneous learning moments that can happen in open source - the
notion of a contributor wandering by and going "oh, I can teach that!"
is, alas, a strange one in many academic institutions (but we're trying
to change that!)

Argh, I didn't copy the original ogg to my laptop (I did it from a
computer lab machine). I'll download the mp4 from youtube and put it on
my fedorapeople space temporarily - can anyone grab, convert to ogg and
host it... somewhere more appropriately permanent?
