Hey John, looks great! I have just a few suggestions to make it a little better:
- You don’t need to add the “good audio and video” tag. The fact that you added PUBLISH is enough to tell us (@myroseapple and I) that it is good to go. We’ll remove that when we schedule it to publish.
- Don’t forget to set a video thumbnail that is actually of the speaker. We try not to use the graphic edited in by the WordCampWordCamp WordCamps are casual, locally-organized conferences covering everything related to WordPress. They're one of the places where the WordPress community comes together to teach one another what they’ve learned throughout the year and share the joy. Learn more.. Setting thumbnails is covered in the video, as well as here: http://wptvmods.wordpress.com/moderator-handbook/approving-videos/#step07
- I think this is a pretty awesome video, so I would be tempted to add the “Featured” tag, which will put this one in the feature section of the homepage. 🙂
About Slides

I think that even though you can see the slides pretty well in the video here, it will be worth it to go the extra mile to get a link to the actual slide deck. @myroseapple did you produce the videos for this camp? Any chance you have a contact to ask about those? If not, I can probably chase it down.

  Syed didn’t supply any slides but I do have a contact to ask about the slides.
  
  I’ll add them as soon as I get them.

    Cool, well I don’t think the video *needs* them necessarily, so I am going to schedule this one. If we need to add a link after the fact I am sure it won’t be a big issue.

      No problem.

I did not see a place to add my name as moderator like the video showed.

To do that, you just need to change the author from WordPress.tv to your name. However, you only need to do that if you are not finished moderating the video, and need to come back to it later for some reason. This will prevent someone from taking it in your absence.

So in the normal scheme of things, it shouldn’t be necessary to change the author name of the post, as most of us just go through the steps and approve for publication all in one shot.

I emailed Syed to ask about the slides.

I will make the corrections this evening.

Thanks for your help!
