Dear list members,
Those of you who visited The Second Conference of the ICPS in
Bonn may noticed a guy playing with a videocamera in the middle
of the lecture hall. That was me trying to record as many lectures
as I could. Later on a few people asked me if the recording would
be available...
Well, after nearly two years full of labour when CPs were not the
main thing I had on my mind I can FINALLY announce the tapes
are available. In order to explain a little bit what prevented me from
working on the tape I will mention just a few major changes of my
life during these two years - birth of my son Michael, completition
and successful defence of my PhD thesis and change of jobs.
I can say I had many troubles with the tapes themselves, although
it does not seem so when you watch the final product.
At first I must say I would have probably never promised the tape
would be available for all if I had known better what would be in front
of me. Boys was it really complicated! Recording itself was not the
worse though I must confess the original idea was that somebody
else (with much more experience) would record the conference, not
me just discovering hidden (dis)advantages of a camera borrowed
from a friend. But somehow it happened that it was me who
recorded the most of the footage. No, I won't go into details
describing many difficulties I encountered, I will only say it
prepared me many hot days and nights including the fact just a few
weeks ago I got final tapes where the sound was missing and
which, of course, had to be reshaped!
I would like to apologize to all it took me so long to make the tapes
available and also for lower quality of the tapes - for example a
tripod was not always stable. Remember this is an amateur
recording, not a professional one, which I only made for real CP
fans!
And what can you see on the tape? Recorded were the following
lectures:

Hemisphere - Distribution, Morphology, Habitat, Cultivation by
