ESUG Videos

Oct. 20, 2019

It has been a while since ESUG took place in cologne. We are sorry for the delay in providing the videos of the talks but the end of summer was a busy time for the guy doing the videos and there is quite some material to post-process. Talk videos are prepared now and we start soon to upload them to the github channel at [1]. Additional to the talks we ordered a short image video for the conference so people get an impression what the event is like. As a teaser before the uploading starts we want to make the image video available to you https://zweidenker.de/en/esug-conference-2019/ <https://zweidenker.de/en/esug-conference-2019/> As soon as there are videos available Marcus will drop a note about it. Hope you like it! the ZWEIDENKER Team [1] https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCO-vBhaKVZf0al-ISMMPvRw <https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCO-vBhaKVZf0al-ISMMPvRw>

Looking for ESUG 2019 slides
by Georg Heeg Oct. 17, 2019

Oct. 17, 2019

To recap details of ESUG 2019 in Cologne, I am looking for slides of this year's conference. On https://www.slideshare.net/esug/presentations I found only a very limited number of them (to be precise 16 out of 60). Does anybody know where to look for the others? Georg Heeg PS: Does anybody know how to filter the slides on Slideshare by conference? I find the presentation confusing.
