I can't understand a thing of what they say! It's like they're talking from the bottom of the sea...

Are there any transcriptions?

I watched many of these the other day. The transciption of the "question" text into the video, which is quite prominent, is of such incredibly poor quality that I can hardly believe it. Kerneal? Butter FS? Questions which don't even make grammatical sense, and the use of "words" which defy even a guess as to what they meant. First Zemlin's gratuitous anti-OpenSolaris troll, and now this; It seems like one mortification after another emanating from the Linux Foundation lately. Has Microsoft secretly gained control of that organization or something?

The content, in the form of the interviewees' responses is quite good, though, and definitely worth wading through the embarrassing LF-generated bits.

Questions too generic

In general I liked the interviews, though I thought it would have been better if more of the questions were about each persons area of work in the kernel, since mostly they gave similar answers to the general questions about ... why is the conference good and what will it be like in 5 years.
