Greetings everyone!  I am back from SCALE 9x, and it was a really fun
conference.  I got to meet hundreds of OpenShot fans and users, meet one of
the main Inkscape developers, and gave a presentation titled "OpenShot:
Lights, Camera, Action!".  The booth was busy with interested attendees the
entire weekend.  I was not even able to stop for lunch due to the amount of
traffic at the booth.  My presentation was given to a packed room of over
100 attendees, and streamed LIVE on the internet.  The video and ODP will be
available soon on the SCALE website.

*So, what did I learn?*  People really love OpenShot!  The SCALE organizers
emailed me and said my presentation was one of the 2 highest rated
presentations at the event this year!  And they really hope I return next
year for another presentation.

*Most requested features:*  As people stopped by and talked with me, here
are the most requested features of the weekend:

   1. Import of MLT XML (i.e. not as a single clip, but more like a project
   file).  Also, import of EDL files (edit decision lists), supported by many
   commercial video editors.
   2. Firewire support
   3. DVD ISO creation
   4. Improved Key Frame animation

Here are some snapshots from my presentation.  I'll be honest, it was pretty
scary up on that stage, with the cameras, PA system, wireless mic, etc...
 But everyone laughed and clapped, and seemed to enjoy the presentation, so
the nerves went away pretty quick. =)

Hopefully some of you can attend next year's SCALE conference with me... as
I do plan on going again.  Maybe we can have a fund raiser, and try and
collect enough money for airfare and hotel for 1 or 2 developers to attend
next year.
