Are there going to be any videos released of the talks? I would have loved to attend but didn't have time to fly to the US this time.

Yes, all the talks are being recording by professionals and will be available after the event is over.

Awesome, thanks for informing us!

I really hope Byrd and Friedman's talk from thursday night was taped. Highlight of the conference so far for me.

That talk was recorded as well and will be made available.

Are the slides for that talk available?

No slides. It was just a live demo with color commentary.

One of the presentations is in SVG format. How do you open this and how is it made?

It was made using SVG and ~200 lines of ClojureScript.

Both Safari and Chrome seem to open the file fine for me. Tags in the source code indicate that it was at least partly made with Inkscape.
